Marina B was born from the adventurous and ambitious spirit of Marina Bulgari. Bulgari is widely regarded as one of the most important women in jewellery design in the 20th century. She left her family’s famed Maison in 1976 to launch her brand. Determined and able to make her own name whilst honouring her family’s nurtured passion and talented heritage, Bulgari’s unique style became world-renown for its boldness and timelessness. Rich and opulent yet very contemporary, Marina invented her own gemstone cuts in addition to reinventing many others. She successfully opened her first showroom in Geneva in 1978, which led to boutiques in Milan, Paris and New York and a worldwide clientele. Marina B’s modern vision and creative excellence inspired a first generation of women purchasing jewels for themselves.
In its present day, creative director Guy Bedarida brings the brand into the right now, with beautifully fitting collections that continue to embrace Bulgari’s innovative aesthetic. “The cultural landscape of my childhood is my greatest inspiration”, says Bedarida.
Bedarida, a French-Italian native, is a leading figure in contemporary jewellery with over 25 years of experience. Under his direction, Marina B’s rich design heritage and reputation of impeccable workmanship is honoured as much as further expanded, so that a new generation of Marina B’s cherished clients can ‘shine bright and be brilliant’.
