Luxury and elegance

“Time is the wisest counselor of all.” — Pericles

Everyone was mesmerized by the contemporary high-end jewelry presented by Bulgari at the presidential suite of The Peninsula Manila hotel. On view were earrings, necklaces, bracelets in Bulgari’s signature style — all encrusted with cut diamonds combined with precious metals, colorful gemstones and innovative materials like the “technological satin” strap for the opulent watches. A standout is the Serpenti pink gold watch, a limited-edition stunner.

Among those seen at the ultra-glam event were Angola Consul Helen Ong, Togo Consul Evie Costa, Molleen del Rosario and Cultural Center of the Philippines president, Raul Sunico, who enthralled the guests with a few musical pieces on the piano. Many thanks to the GM of Bulgari in the Philippines, Mario Katigbak, for the chance to see the latest from the world-famous Italian jeweler! Anything Bulgari is truly lovely to behold, much lovelier to own!
