What VMEN Want: BVLGARI Goes Off the Workbench
Who says fine jewelry can’t take a beating? BVLGARI begs to differ

The B.ZERO1 Rock couples’ rings lie nestled beside a rust-flecked wrench, not so much places as abandoned mid-task, as if desire had interrupted labor. Nearby, a BVLGARI cabochon necklace coils with reptilian grace around the steel curve, its softness daring the cold hardness to blink first.
Fall’s lustrous obsessions meet the tools of men who build and break. Gold and grease, polish and torque; this is jewelry not resting in velvet boxes but living on workbenches and in garages, where tenderness learns to wear a tougher skin.
