Bulgari recently unveiled its first India specific product offering. The 18k gold necklace is a mangalsutra with five discs, set with black onyx and pavé diamonds. With this, the Rome-based jewellery company is laying out its ambitious intentions for a market where traditional jewellery dominates.
In an exclusive interview with The Hindu Weekend, jewellery director Mauro di Roberto, a 42-year veteran of Bulgari, explains why the brand is betting big on India, which has long been a source of important gemstones for the company.
