Founded in 1978, sold in 1996, acquired and re-launched in 2011: the brand Marina B, created by the grandaughter of Sotirio Bulgari, back to be a family affair. Giorgio Bulgari, nephew of Marina, was named creative director by Paul Lubetsky, owner of the brand, as well as CEO of Windsor Jewelers, one of the main jewellery estate in the United States. His first project Mini Atomo, just introduced on the market, is a smaller version of the Atom collection, a drawing of 1989 that assembled gold beads of different sizes linking them together as atoms, precisely. An evergreen collection, which concept is now scaled-down, for a jewelry slightly more accessible, price-wise, to wear every day.
Because the idea of the 38 year-old Giorgio is to breath new life in aesthetic that made so famous his aunt, including the stone cut she invented that is aptly named Marina B. As dowry he can count on 1,200 archival sketches and valuable advice of her aunt, a 84 years lady of great talent, who revolutionized the jewelry replacing black enamel with gold black oxidized, using colored stones like never before, introducing spring-loaded clasps and bold design as decorative elements.
