PROFILE |
 |
Bulgari, the world's #3 jewelry company (behind Cartier and Tiffany & Co.), once embodied the adage, "If you have to ask, you can't afford it." The company's precious metals and jewel-encrusted baubles have been prized by the rich and famous throughout its history. Today Bulgari reaches a larger upscale market by making watches, leather goods, silk wares, housewares, fragrances, and eyewear (under license to Luxottica). Its products are sold in about 100 Bulgari stores and through select retailers at exclusive addresses in some 30 countries. Descendants of Sotirio Bulgari, who opened the company's first shop in 1884, own about 55% of Bulgari.
