Bulgari Kaleidos Exhibition: A Majestic Celebration of Art and Culture in Japan

Bulgari Kaleidos Exhibition: A Journey of Color, Culture, and Craftsmanship

On September 16, 2025, the prestigious Bulgari Kaleidos exhibition opened at the National Art Center in Tokyo, marking the largest showcase of Bulgari’s masterpieces in Japan and the first in a decade. This grand event features around 350 vibrant jewelry pieces and contemporary artworks that celebrate the splendid dialogue between Italian and Japanese cultures.

The opening ceremony was graced by actor and model Aya Ohmasa, who captivated attendees wearing an exquisite emerald necklace named "Emerald Lightscape," featuring an impressive 8.69-carat Zambian emerald. This stunning piece was complemented by octagonal Colombian emerald earrings and a breathtaking diamond ring, along with the "Serpenti Eternity" watch adorned with emeralds and diamonds, creating a harmonious and luxurious ensemble.

In an enthusiastic statement, Aya expressed her delight in wearing Bulgari’s beautiful emerald and diamond jewelry, stating, "Today, I wore Bulgari's jewelry featuring really beautiful emeralds and diamonds, and I chose a monochromatic dress to let the jewelry shine. The exhibition is truly impressive, with each piece of jewelry displayed to encourage thorough appreciation. I was captivated by how each room is designed in the shape of Diva Dream, which made me look up to see the ceiling.”
