The Peacock or Pavone radiates beauty and confidence through the silky nuances of its feathers in the collection Divas’ Dream Peacock da Bulgari. The bird arches its feathers in a circle – a multitude of arabesques and curves highly valued in Bulgari’s stylistic repertoire, reminiscent of the mosaic designs of the Baths of Caracalla.
Divas’ Dream Peacock Feather Marquetry pays homage to the naturally luxurious plumage of the blue peacock. Twelve spectacularly colored feathers bloom on the dial, and their “eyes” are a symbol of wisdom. These feathers are naturally eliminated by the bird and later collected. They are meticulously selected for their extraordinary colors and textures and crafted using a technique originating from Antiquity. Each feather passes through an antique metal steam machine to reveal its natural shine, and is then cut, assembled, glued and cut to form a shimmering mosaic with silky reflections.

The Divas’ Dream Peacock Mother-of-Pearl Marquetry depicts the majestic silhouette of a peacock in gold and mother-of-pearl. Its fan-shaped feathers run across the lower dial, while a tuft adorns its head, complemented by a rose gold beak. A delicate white mother-of-pearl background, engraved with textured rays, highlights the multiple symbolism of this magnificent creature, which symbolizes wealth, protection and wisdom. Diamond details evoke a starry sky. Creating this mother-of-pearl marquetry requires immense refinement due to the fragility of the material. The mother-of-pearl elements are painted on the back to introduce various shades of blue, then intricately cut and set into recesses carved directly into the dial. Flush inlays outlined in rose gold accentuate the natural iridescence of mother-of-pearl, considered the most precious gift from the sea.
