Designer Bvlgari Glasses

By Christian Halstead


A jeweller from Greece by the name of Sotirios Voulgaris was the founder of Bvlgari. His name in Italian becomes Soritio Bulgari when translated.

Bulgari, as he became known, had a small jewellery shop in his hometown. Wanting to make his fortune and realising he was unable to expand the business any further where he lived, Bulgari travelled; first to Corfu but then further afield to Italy. First arriving in Naples, he eventually made his way north to Rome, where he settled.

Seven years after first setting off, he settled in Rome. This is where Bulgari's second store was opened, but the first under the name as we know it today.

During the 1970s, the company opened many new stores in some of the largest cities in the world. These included New York, Paris, Geneva and Monte Carlo. The company boasts over 290 boutiques today.

Jumping forward seventy years, the company was expanding faster than ever, opening shops throughout the world during the 1970s; locations in places such as New York, Paris, Monte Carlo and Geneva. Today, there are nearly 300 boutiques.

Trapani was the brains behind the decision in the 90s to diversify and produce not just jewellery. The first item outside of their usual repertoire was the launch of the Bvlgari perfume line.

From this, Bvlgari became a brand not just known as a jeweller, but a producer of all luxury goods from clothing to accessories.

The decision to produce items other than jewellery was the decision of Trapani. Releasing a perfume was the first venture, followed by other luxury items such as bags and watches.

Bvlgari glasses are yet another product in the extensive Bvlgari catalogue. They are distinguished by their elegance and luxury styling, incorporating features such as inlaid gems and crystals. Despite being a relatively new brand, they are one of the most popular.

Bvlgari frames fit all manner of lenses, so any glasses wearer can wear these. From those who wear them all day, every day, to those who just wish to look stylish in the office at a computer. Single vision, varifocals and bifocals are all suited

Lenses are available in different thicknesses. Thinner lenses are advised to those with high prescriptions, as they can look bulky or be heavy and uncomfortable.
