Viewing Serpenti Metamorphosis

For a much-needed dose of sparkle and glitter, make tracks for Serpenti Metamorphosis at London’s Saatchi Gallery. This immersive experience, conceived in collaboration with multi-media artist and director Refik Anadol, explores the rich history and continued evolution of Serpenti, Bulgari’s most emblematic icon.

The double-coiled snake, which first appeared in 1948, was popularised in the 1950s and 60s and has since adorned such glamorous figures as Elizabeth Taylor, Naomi Campbell and Lisa of BLACKPINK. As you meander around the dazzling gallery space, you’ll encounter archival images and sketches alongside an exclusive selection of Serpenti pieces, ranging from heritage gems to the house’s latest high jewellery creations.

Central to the exhibition of course is Anadol’s AI installation built from an algorithm founded on over 200 million images. Serpenti Metamorphosis fizzes with glamour, energy and fun. Make sure you find time of it for this December.
