Luxury Italian Jewellery house Bulgari chose fashion's biggest night of the year to debut stunning pieces from its new high jewellery collection.

Stars Anne Hathaway and Priyanka Chopra Jonas donned dramatic designs as a preview to the Roman jeweller’s wider new ‘Polychroma’ collection.

Rooted in the Greek poly, meaning “multitude,” and chromia, “colours,” the collection highlights a creative and daring use of colour.

The head-turning pieces worn by the actresses are two of five pieces in the Polychroma collection known as the “Gallery of Wonders.” These five pieces are exceptional creations that showcase remarkable gems and the skill and creativity of the artisans that create each design.

The full collection will be unveiled at the end of May.

High jewellery, Sometimes known as ‘haute joaillerie’ is respected as the pinnacle of one-off jewellery creation. Creative, show-stopping forms embrace the rarest gems from the world’s most exclusive locations, representing the highest levels of craftsmanship, design, and materials.

Because the pieces are so elaborate, with price tags of many zeroes, they remain out of reach for most people, nonetheless forming remarkable showpieces that surprise and delight.

These pieces are often chosen for display at high-profile events, often worn by friends of the brand and house ambassadors.
