Craftsmanship Runs in Her Veins: The Legacy of Marina B

A Heritage of Craftsmanship

Marina Bulgari got her start in the world of fine jewelry at her grandfather’s company. While she may have followed her father and grandfather into the business, she quickly proved herself as an emerging talent by creating some of the brand’s most sought-after pieces. After rising to the position of Head Designer, Marina left the company in the late 1970s to form her signature brand, Marina B.

On Her Own                                                      

Toiling passionately in studios in Paris and Italy, Marina made a big entrance into the fashion and fine jewelry scene with an epic succession of magnificent pieces which caught the eye of the world’s chicest tastemakers. Soon, everyone from celebrities to the society set was turning to Marina B for creative, elegant and ultra-lux pieces. Boutiques sprang up in the world’s hottest spots, including New York, London, Tokyo, Milan and Geneva, and fans of the line have included Elizabeth Taylor, Princess Grace, Julia Roberts and Sophia Loren.

Artisanry for the AgesMarina B pieces are admired for their embodiment of her unique vision, informed by an innate feel for scale, proportion and movement. Marina Bulgari’s university studies in art, architecture and mathematics helped hone these natural skills into bold and original design concepts integrating everything from gemstones to geometry. The world was Marina’s inspiration, and she found creative sparks everywhere from ancient mythology to contemporary object d’art and architecture. Today, her work is continued by Paul Lubetsky, who is building on her legacy of creating timeless, elegant and signature pieces for Marina B.
