  Bulgari’s claim to be the Master of Colour is unquestionably upheld with the arrival of the first of the Bulgari Colour Journeys.  Bulgari presents Colour Journey, a capsule collection of high jewellery , watches and handbags that is the initial step in a voyage of immersion in the wondrous world of gemstones. For the initial collection, Bulgari has focused on the magnificent aqua-green Paraiba tourmaline, which so vividly showcases the Roman jeweller’s inimitable confidence when it comes to creating brilliant combinations of colour. Seventeen jewels, two watches and handbags with gem-set handles set the tone for Bulgari’s opulent and awe-inspiring initial Colour Journey.
