"Undeniably one of the biggest advantages to working on Cleopatra in Rome was Bulgari..." Elizabeth Taylor The third volume in the Bulgari series traces the story of the Monete Collection. Conceived by Nicola Bulgari in 1966, these extraordinary jewels feature an array of coins from ancient Greece to early twentieth century America. The contrast of contemporary designs with the history of the coins is in perfect sync with the innovative image of the jeweller from the Eternal City, and the coin jewels quickly became one of its most iconic creations. This oversize luxury tome spotlights gorgeous imagery of Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, Goldie Hawn, and Candice Bergen, and many other celebrities known for wearing Bulgari coin treasures.
