'Wild Pop' is the new high jewelry collection from Bulgari, which recalls popular 80s jewelry styles. In particular, the collection is said to offer a take on the "creativity and disruptive spirit of the 1980s" and offer a rebellious take on luxury jewelry with chunky designs, high-quality craftsmanship and rare gemstones.
The over-the-top jewelry collection draws inspiration from the extravagant art and fashion of the decade with kitschy pieces such as necklaces that resemble ruffled collars and black and white piano keys. As the jewelry collection celebrates the bold and unexpected, a few Wild Pop pieces reference cannabis culture with leaf motifs—that also seem appropriate for the current times in which marijuana legalization laws are changing.
Thanks to various parts of pop culture, the 80s have been revived on and off of the runway, offering consumers a contemporary way to look back at the decade past.
