The Next Generation of Bulgari Women Are Coming of Age, Each In Their Own Way

Considering that they're scions of one of Italy's most prominent fine-jewelry houses, Ginevra, Carlota, and Marina Bulgari make for a remarkably unflashy bunch "We're still quite young-and Bulgari pieces are pretty big." Growing up in Rome, the sisters, as well as their cousin Ginevra, also 21, knew little about the family vocation, including how their great-grandfather Sotirio Bulgari, a silversmith, opened his first store in 1884 after emigrating from Greece to Italy "My father would change the topic," Ginevra notes.

"It's very nontraditional." Ginevra, a senior at Brown University, originally applied as an art history major but changed tack after teaching English for a summer to children in the Himalayas Ginevra would spend afternoons drawing earrings and crafting necklaces in the Bulgari creative director Lucia Silvestri's design studio "Art, film, design-they all tie back to the creative side of Bulgari that we three love," Ginevra says.
