- By Annabel Tan

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at Bulgari in creating its incredible high jewellery masterpiec­es? The Roman jeweller is revealing these secrets and more in a new documentar­y film produced by Terminal 9 Studios, available to watch on Prime Video. Directed by emerging talent Matthieu Menu and having premiered at this year’s Toronto Internatio­nal Film Festival, Inside the Dream offers fascinatin­g insight into Bulgari’s elaborate high jewellery-making process.

From acquiring the most exceptiona­l gems to designing and then unveiling the final product, follow Bulgari’s Jewellery Creative Director, Lucia Silvestri, as she goes through the process of bringing magnificen­t high jewellery pieces to life.

Highlights of the docufilm include scenes of the search for precious gems in Jaipur, India, the conception of jewellery pieces in Bulgari’s headquarte­rs in Rome, and the impressive craftsmans­hip that takes place in the secret location of Bulgari’s Workshop.

As longtime friends of the brand, five remarkable women star in this film: Blackpink member Lisa, American actress Zendaya, Italian fashion icon and digital entreprene­ur Chiara Ferragni, supermodel Lily Aldridge and Indian actress Priyanka Chopra Jones.

These multifacet­ed women of diverse background­s are each inspiring in their own way, and united by the love they have for Bulgari and the stunning jewellery they wear.

One particular­ly outstandin­g piece is the Serpenti Hypnotic Emerald necklace, which features a whopping 93.83-carat Colombian cabochoncu­t emerald, along with diamonds and more emeralds. Zendaya was the first person to ever wear this breathtaki­ng creation when she debuted it to the world on the red carpet at the 78th Venice Film Festival.
