Italian jewelry show whets growing craze for luxury

Andy Warhol was quoted as saying in the 1960s that walking into a Bulgari shop was like visiting a contemporary art show.

Beijingers will have a chance to see if this testimonial about the Italian jeweler sparkles with truth or is lackluster, when the National Museum of China hosts a retrospective brand exhibition.

The seven-gallery Bulgari - 125 Years of Italian Magnificence show recounts different chapters of the brand's design, since founder Sotirio Bulgari opened his first shop in Rome in 1884.
