Boodles Introduce A Vibrant Tribute to Italian Elegance and Charm with New Collection

29 Nov 2023

Boodles is delighted to introduce its latest collection of statement colourful rings, aptly named ‘Florentine Dolce Vita.’ Inspired by the zest and glamour of the iconic Dolce Vita era in Italy, the rings exude vibrancy, boldness, and a playful celebration of Italian life. The literal translation from the Italian is the “sweet life”. 

The original Florentine collection was born when the Boodles Design team saw Leonardo da Vinci’s world-famous notebooks in a museum in Florence and found themselves sketching ideas in a book of their own. Fascinated by the pulleys and levers in Da Vinci’s scientific diagrams, the collection was created, inspired by the great man whose nickname was ‘The Florentine’. 

As a subcollection of this much-loved collection, ‘Florentine Dolce Vita’ marks one of the brightest and boldest of Boodles collections to date. The 1960s in Italy was a time of great optimism and revolutionary change, personified by the iconic Dolce Vita lifestyle. Drawing inspiration from the beautiful landscapes, artistic heritage, and enchanting atmosphere of Italy during the Dolce Vita period, Boodles designers sought to capture the essence of ‘la dolce vita’, a world of art, culture, and romance. These statement rings reflect the joyful indulgence of the time, offering wearers a taste of the sweetness of the colourful and carefree Italian ‘dolce vita’ lifestyle. 

At the heart of this exciting new collection is a fusion of classic elegance and contemporary, colourful design. Each ring is meticulously handcrafted with a combination of bright stones set in gold and coloured enamel (a feature that is making a regular appearance in recent Boodles designs!), dazzling diamonds, and Boodles’ trademark expert artistry. The result is a collection that combines the timeless sophistication of the Florentine collection alongside a modern burst of colour, epitomising the carefree spirit and colourful exuberance of the iconic Dolce Vita era. 

Michael Wainwright, Managing Director of Boodles, shares,

"Inspired by the Italian ‘sweet life’ in every sense, the latest additions to Boodles Florentine collection reflect the fun, laidback and colourful nature of the Dolce Vita lifestyle."
