It's always a pleasurable experience for Heart Evangelista to wear pieces from her favorite luxury brands.
On Tuesday, September 6, 2022, Heart revealed on Instagram that her shoot with L'Officiel Philippines for its September 2022 issue featured Bvlgari's latest high jewelry collection called Eden, The Garden of Wonders.
The GMA-7 actress wore earrings, a watch, and necklaces, which were designed by the Italian luxury fashion house's Jewelry Creative Director and stone sourcing guru Lucia Silvestri.
EDEN, THE GARDEN OF WONDERS
In the magazine's cover photo, Heart wore the Emerald Glory necklace from the collection.
This magnificent piece features a variety of gemstones, including tourmalines, carnelians, amethysts, and emeralds.
Heart was seen crying when this masterpiece was wrapped around her neck.
It has a lattice made with a total of 220 carats of diamonds and a detachable part with 11 pear-shaped Colombian emeralds.
It can be worn in three ways: as a necklace, a choker, or a tiara.
The Bvlgari ad campaign for this particular gem features the American actress and singer Zendaya.
For the magazine shoot, Heart also wore the Giardino dell’Eden Tourbillon cuff watch, which has a total of 6,500 gemstones—including Paraiba tourmalines, emeralds, garnets, tourmalines, opals, rubies sapphires, and diamonds—weighing 223 carats.
PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) also spotted Bvlgari's Emerald Venus necklace adorning Heart's neck in the video she posted on her Instagram account.
Inspired by the Mediterranean fern called Capelvenere, this necklace comes with a 19.30-ct octagonal Colombian emerald (a total of 71.24 carats) and a total of 62 enchanting emerald beads (130.77 ct), according to the brand's official website.
