Bvlgari, commonly known as Bulgari, was founded in Rome, Italy in 1884, by a Greek silversmith named Sotirios Voulgari.
He was originally from the Epirus region of Greece. He was born in 1857 and at the age of 24 he moved to Rome (1881). His family had generations of expertise in crafting silver items and he brought that expertise and knowledge to Italy.
In 1884, he opened a store in Rome, initially offering silver artisan products evoking Islamic and Byzantine art and adding floral elements.

By 1920 his activities became more aimed at creating fashionable and trendy jewelry, influenced by what then was the mecca of fashion, Paris.
His name and jewelry collections became well known as a symbol of status.
Between 1950 and 1970 many of the top celebrities in the world were seen wearing Bvlagri jewelry.
During that period they introduced their famous cabochon cuts on precious stones which they still use today.

Sotirios Bvlgari died in 1966 and his business continued under the ownership of his family.
