ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES, Italian high jewellery is on the menu, with a side of history of course. We’re in the mood for a degustation of tantalising treasures representing a culture of art and craftsmanship that has existed since the Renaissance, long before even.

From Bulgari’s juicy gemstones to indulgent alta gioielleria masterpieces by Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana, and signature nature-inspired shapes by Pomellato and Pasquale Bruni, Italian high jewellery is, and always has been, a grand banquet of colour and artistry that continues to evolve as part of a centuries-long cultural narrative. Buon appetito!
