Bvlgari celebrates the Year of the Horse with a festive collection inspired by courage and renewal
Bvlgari ushers in the Chinese Lunar New Year with a creatively rich celebration that pays tribute to the Year of the Horse, a symbol of courage, freedom, vitality and forward motion. Embracing the spirit of renewal and togetherness, the Roman Maison unveils a series of striking jewellery creations and accessories that reinterpret its iconic codes through festive symbolism and auspicious hues.
At the heart of the collection is a Special Edition Horse Brooch inspired by a heritage design from the 1970s. Crafted in yellow gold, the brooch took over 130 hours of design and 50 hours of meticulous goldsmithing. Set with more than 40 cabochon rubies, pavé diamonds and black onyx inserts, the piece channels the bold energy of the Horse, symbolising strength, success and auspicious new beginnings.
Bvlgari’s signature Serpenti motif also takes on a celebratory expression for the season. The Serpenti Viper features ruby accents symbolising prosperity and good fortune, with hypnotic scales rendered in warm rose gold. The design is expressed through a rose gold necklace with a twisted pendant and a single-coil bangle bracelet, conveying themes of transformation and empowered elegance.



Further enhancing the festive offering, the Serpenti Pallini necklace in rose gold showcases the Maison’s signature soldered gold boules inspired by its 1950s artisanal heritage. The piece is adorned with pavé diamonds and rubies on the head and tail, complemented by striking black onyx eyes.
Exclusively created for Greater China, the limited-edition Bvlgari jewellery set combines yellow and rose gold with carnelian and mother-of-pearl inserts. Illuminating the iconic double logo with a festive touch, the selection includes a chain necklace with a round pendant, a wire bracelet, a single stud earring designed for versatile styling, and a soft rose gold bracelet featuring a reversible flip-disc.
Completing the Lunar New Year story are refined leather accessories, including the heart-shaped Serpenti Cuore 1968 bag reimagined in luminous Light Amethyst calf leather with a sinuous metallic snake handle. The Serpenti Cuoricino also makes its debut as a jewel-like miniature in vibrant Royal Ruby and delicate Dusty Pink calf leather, offering a precious companion for festive celebrations and the year ahead.

Diamond Slump forces Debswana to diversify into copper, platinum and solar
Diamond-centric mining models is giving way to broader resource portfolios
Debswana Diamond Company, the 50–50 joint venture between the Botswana government and De Beers, is moving to diversify into copper, platinum and renewable energy as the prolonged downturn in natural diamond demand pressures earnings and forces the industry to rethink its growth strategy.
The company’s board has approved plans to invest in a portfolio of non-diamond projects after revenue fell 46% in 2024, the latest available financial year, highlighting the scale of the downturn in the global diamond market.

The move signals a strategic shift toward commodities with stronger long-term demand fundamentals, particularly copper, which is central to global electrification and energy-transition infrastructure.
Debswana’s diversification reflects a broader industry pivot as diamond producers confront weak consumer demand, rising competition from lab-grown stones and elevated inventories across the supply chain.
The shift is also visible among smaller exploration companies. Botswana Diamonds recently rebranded as Botswana Minerals, signalling its own strategic focus on copper exploration rather than diamonds.
Together, these moves underscore a growing consensus across the sector: the era of diamond-centric mining models is giving way to broader resource portfolios anchored in energy-transition metals.
