Bvlgari Opens World’s Largest Jewellery Manufacturing Facility in Valenza
The expanded Manifattura aims to double production and create 1,600 jobs by 2029, with a strong focus on sustainability and craftsmanship.
Bvlgari has officially unveiled its expanded Manifattura in Valenza, now the largest single-branded jewellery manufacturing site in the world. Spanning 33,000 square metres, the state-of-the-art facility is set to double the brand’s production capacity and create more than 1,000 new jobs by 2029, contributing to a total of 1,600 roles.
As part of this expansion, Bvlgari has launched Scuola Bvlgari—its first publicly accessible jewellery school—located within the site. The school offers professional training in goldsmithing and gemstone setting, reflecting the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship and education.

“Today marks a historic milestone not only for Bvlgari, but also for the territory of Valenza and the global jewelry industry,” said Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bvlgari. “The expansion of our Manufacture is far more than a doubling in size and production capacity — it is the realization of a bold, contemporary vision for what the luxury industry must become in the future.”
He continued, “This project is designed to integrate new crafts from the jewelry world – positioning us as even more engaged, skilled, and forward-thinking partner in our collaboration with external stakeholders – while enhancing education and training, fostering workplace well-being, and protecting the environment.”
Babin emphasized the ambitious goals behind the project: “By 2029, we will have created a total of 1,600 jobs, and we will remain dedicated to contributing to the excellence of this territory and to the art of jewelry.”
The site was inaugurated with an official ceremony and press conference attended by Jean-Christophe Babin, LVMH Italy President Toni Belloni, Piedmont Region Vice President and Regional Minister Elena Chiorino, and Undersecretary of the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy, Fausta Bergamotto.
Designed with a fully sustainable approach, the Manifattura operates entirely on renewable energy. It is equipped with over 4,100 solar panels and a geothermal system, providing half of the facility’s energy needs and ensuring a carbon-neutral footprint.
The celebration also included the unveiling of two contemporary art installations, previously exhibited elsewhere, now permanently housed at Manifattura Bvlgari as a symbol of the brand’s enduring connection to art, innovation, and tradition.

Bhima Gold Unveils Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection for Akshaya Tritiya, Blending Devotion with Exquisite Design
A culturally rooted, insight-led launch that reimagines festive gold buying through storytelling, symbolism, and spiritual relevance.
In a move that blends cultural storytelling with product innovation, Bhima Gold has unveiled its Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection for Akshaya Tritiya – positioning gold not just as a purchase, but as a deeply symbolic expression of prosperity, faith, and intent.
Timed with one of India’s most significant gold-buying occasions, Akshaya Tritiya, the launch reflects a deeper cultural shift in consumer behaviour. While the festival continues to drive strong purchase intent, there is a growing preference for meaningful, purpose-led buying experiences over purely transactional consumption.
Aligned with this evolving mindset, the Ashtalakshmi coin collection has been thoughtfully conceptualised to blend tradition with deeper symbolism. Inspired by the eight sacred forms of Goddess Lakshmi, each coin represents a distinct dimension of prosperity—from wealth and nourishment to courage, knowledge, and continuity.

By bringing together Adi Lakshmi, Dhana Lakshmi, Dhanya Lakshmi, Gaja Lakshmi, Santana Lakshmi, Veera Lakshmi, Vijaya Lakshmi and Vidya Lakshmi, the collection reframes gold coins from being a generic festive purchase to a story-driven, culturally immersive product experience – one that resonates across generations and belief systems.
This launch also aligns with Bhima Gold’s larger centenary narrative of “Together Purever,” which focuses on legacy, shared traditions, and evolving consumer meaning. The collection becomes an extension of that philosophy – reinforcing how heritage brands are reinterpreting tradition for a more aware and emotionally driven consumer.
Customers can pre-book their favourite jewellery by paying just 10% in advance & get their jewellery on Akshaya Tritiya at the lowest rate, which gives customers more flexibility and helps them plan their purchases with greater confidence, especially at a time when gold prices are high.
Akshaya Tritiya has traditionally been associated with intention, belief, and the aspiration for prosperity, extending beyond a purely transactional act of buying gold. The Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection has been conceptualised to reflect this deeper cultural and spiritual significance, with each coin designed to carry a distinct meaning and sense of purpose. The initiative also aligns with evolving consumer preferences, where there is a noticeable shift towards jewellery that offers emotional, cultural, and spiritual resonance in addition to intrinsic value.
With gold prices near record highs and consumer sentiment becoming more considered, Bhima’s Ashtalakshmi Coin Collection signals a broader shift in the category — from price-led promotions to meaning-led engagement, where design, storytelling, and cultural relevance drive both differentiation and demand.
As legacy brands navigate a new era of conscious consumption, Bhima Gold’s latest offering highlights how tradition can be reimagined as experience, making gold buying not just an act of investment, but an expression of identity and belief.
