When Lalisa “Lisa” Manoban of Blackpink stepped onto the Golden Globe red carpet wearing a sculptural Bvlgari Vimini necklace, the moment instantly captured global attention. Draped in warm yellow gold and unmistakably architectural, the necklace was more than a statement piece - it was a modern revival of Bvlgari’s deep design heritage. Worn by one of today’s most influential style icons, Vimini announced itself as a collection where history, craftsmanship, and contemporary culture converge.

Blackpink's Lalisa Monobal wore a five-layer Bulgari Timeless Collection Vimini High Jewelry necklace at this year's Golden Globes.


Lisa’s choice of the Vimini necklace highlighted the collection‘s defining characteristics: rhythmic geometry, bold volume, and a sensual fluidity that moves with the body. Paired with a minimalist gown, the necklace became the focal point - echoing Lisa’s own ability to balance strength and elegance. As a longtime Bvlgari ambassador, her appearance underscored how archival design can feel strikingly current when reimagined with intention.

The Vimini collection is the first chapter of Bvlgari Eternal, a creative project dedicated to reinterpreting the Maison’s historic designs for a modern audience. Its inspiration traces back to an archival 1942 Bvlgari bracelet, created during World War II - a period when material scarcity pushed designers toward inventive forms and bold gold constructions. That original piece, with its woven geometric structure, quietly foreshadowed the design language that would later define Bvlgari.


The original 1942 bracelet inspired Bulgari's Vimini jewelry collection - the first chapter of the new Eternal collection.

Vimini, meaning "wicker", pays homage to its woven structure, which connects diamond-shaped elements to create a smooth, architectural gold surface.

Viewed from the side, the design softens, with the multifaceted gold surfaces creating subtle interplay of light and shadow.

 
The name Viminicomes from the Italian word for “wicker,” referencing ancient Roman and Greek basket-weaving techniques using willow branches. Bvlgari translated this organic craft into precious metal, transforming the idea of weaving into a series of interlinked rhomboid gold modules. The result is jewelry that feels architectural yet tactile, structured yet fluid.

Modular patterns embody the fundamental principles of Italian rationalism: form follows function, geometry replaces decoration.

Invisible flexible joints lend the pieces a beautiful suppleness.

The collection emphasizes touch and dynamism: pieces that feel fluid on the body.

 

Crafted primarily in 18-karat yellow gold, Vimini pays homage to Bvlgari’s long-standing preference for warm gold over cooler metals like platinum. This choice reinforces the Maison’s Roman roots while lending the collection a timeless glow. Each piece is engineered with invisible links, allowing it to drape naturally and catch the light from every angle.

The collection includes a necklace, bracelet, ring, earrings, and a single-earring design, along with select high jewelry interpretations that push the concept further through scale, diamonds, and innovative materials. Whether worn as a bold statement or a refined accent, every Vimini piece carries the same DNA: heritage reimagined through modern craftsmanship.

While most pieces remain strictly confidential, one has already been previewed at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards, worn by Blackpink's Lalisa “Lisa” Monobal, who chose a five-layered Everlasting Vimini high jewelry necklace - an early sign of the collection's red-carpet potential. Lisa’s red-carpet moment did more than spotlight a beautiful necklace - it introduced Vimini to a new generation. In her, Bvlgari found the perfect ambassador for a collection that bridges eras, proving that true design endures not by standing still, but by evolving.
