For over seven decades, the Serpenti Collection by Bvlgari has embodied the power of transformation, rebirth, and eternal energy. First introduced in 1948 as sinuous coiled wristwatches, the Serpenti has evolved into one of the most iconic expressions of high jewellery design — ever-changing yet always true to its serpent soul.
At the recent Serpenti Infinito Exhibition, global ambassador Priyanka Chopra unveiled one of the collection’s most breathtaking creations: the Serpenti Maharani Secret Necklace.
A Masterpiece of Heritage and Craftsmanship
The Maharani Secret Necklace pays homage to the legendary queens of India, seamlessly blending Roman artistry with Indian mystique. Its fluid, modular structure reflects the serpent’s eternal motion — flexible, lifelike, and powerful.
Each detail reveals meticulous craftsmanship:
- Turquoise accents that breathe vibrancy into the design.
- Pavé-set diamonds that shimmer with refined brilliance.
- A commanding 109.27-carat cabochon rubellite at the heart of the necklace — a gemstone whose rich magenta hue embodies vitality and strength.
This interplay of colour, texture, and form transforms the necklace into a living sculpture of light and movement.
Priyanka Chopra: The Perfect Muse
Few could embody the spirit of the Serpenti Maharani better than Priyanka Chopra. As an international icon who bridges cultures, she reflects the duality of the design — the timeless grace of India’s royal lineage paired with the bold glamour of Roman heritage. Draped in the necklace, she became both muse and storyteller, carrying forward the symbolism of queenship, transformation, and eternal allure.
The Spirit of Reinvention
What makes the Serpenti an enduring icon is its ability to constantly reinvent itself. Over the decades, it has been expressed through:
- Tubogas coils wrapping delicately around the wrist.
- Enamelled serpent heads that double as timepieces.
- Gem-encrusted necklaces that merge art with engineering.
The Maharani Secret Necklace continues this legacy — an exploration of cultural dialogue, gemstone mastery, and high jewellery innovation.
More Than Jewellery
This necklace is not only a showcase of opulence but also of storytelling. Every gemstone is chosen for harmony, every segment crafted for movement, and every detail carries symbolism. It is a jewel that celebrates transformation, identity, and power — qualities that transcend borders and eras.
With the Serpenti Maharani Secret Necklace, Bvlgari doesn’t just present a piece of high jewellery — it presents a story of queens, of rebirth, and of the enduring dialogue between heritage and modernity.
