White Travertino Navona marble shaped to resemble the entrance portals at BULGARI’s Via dei Condotti flagship heralds the Roman jewelry house’s newly relocated and reimagined 5,000-sq.-ft. Costa Mesa boutique. The space itself, now introducing high jewelry, a watch salon, Le Gemme and Allegra fragrances, and a lounge with light refreshments, takes inspiration from the Eternal City itself. A Venini chandelier illuminates mandarin garnets, rubellites, and pink tourmalines in gold settings alongside core collections and Crystal Sparkle leather goods, while a red porphyry eight-point star nods to Sotirio Bulgari’s first shop in the Italian capital. Additionally, master perfumer Jacques Cavallier’s new Allegra Chill & Sole eau de parfum brings the Mediterranean Sea to the California coast in a nearby pop-up, where bottle engravings, fragrance masterclasses, and Italian sodas top the menu through May 22. 3333 Bristol St., South Coast Plaza, Costa Mesa, 714-557-9600; bulgari.com.
