Overview

The luxurious Italian brand Bvlgari (or in English -- Bulgari) was founded in 1884 by Sotirios Voulgaris, a jeweller from Cyprus. With the help of his two sons, Costantino and Giorgio, Bulgari stores quickly became a playground for the rich and famous. In 2011, the French luxury group LVMH bought Bulgari SpA for a staggering 6.01 billion dollars -- higher than any amount the group had paid for any deal previously.

Top Facts:

During World War II, Constantino and his wife Laura, hid three Jewish women in their house. In 2003, the couple were awarded the Righteous Among Nations title, in the Holocaust memorial museum Yad Vashem, in Jerusalem.

The Bulgari flagship store was opened in 1905, and still stands today.

From 1995-2011 Bulgari became publicly traded on the Borsa Italiana (The Italian stock exchange).

To date, Bulgari has more than 290 stores around the world.

Bulgari jewelries are often imitated. To prevent forgery, an original Bvlgari watch for example, is given a unique serial number that is registered with the company.
