Bvlgari Jewels (aka almost getting my camera smashed)

YAY we got to go to the last day of the Bvlgari Jewelry exposition at the Grand Palais! It was in the main hallway under the glass roof so that was pretty cool to see in itself.


yay!!!!


glass roof!

And as far as the actual jewels go.. they were stunning!!! I loved it. Some things I didn't know about Bvlgari Jewelry was that most of the gemstones (so not diamonds) are not facet-cut. They are just polished so that they look shiny, but not sparkly. Really interesting I thought! (I love gemstones. So does my dad.. ask my mom about it!)

Also.. APPARENTLY you are not supposed to take pictures where the actual jewels are. I got caught attempting to do so by a huge security guard and he demanded that I showed him my pictures. Luckily, I flipped quickly through them, so he didn't see anything. YAY for pulling the "dumb American" card!!!

Maybe not worth it though because the pictures I did get were super blury!! oh well. It was fun anyways.
