MEGA, along with Pia Wurtzbach, Davika Hornee, and Hồ Ngọc Hà, attended the event set against the grandeur of the Angkor temple complex
In the culmination of its 140th anniversary, BVLGARI celebrated the unveiling of the Aeterna High Jewelry collection at a gala dinner in front of Bayon Temple in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Drawing inspiration from Rome’s storied past, the collection presents jewels crafted from Earth’s rarest gems, paying homage to a legacy that has evolved through the centuries.

Launched to celebrate the House’s heritage and the concept of eternity, Aeterna featured a stunning array of pieces that combined bold gemstones, intricate settings, and signature Italian artistry—injected with innovation and modernity. Under the glow of ancient stone carvings and the twinkle of stars, guests were whisked away on a journey of opulence and heritage. The gala was attended by regional ambassadors such as the Philippines’ Pia Wurtzbach, Thailand’s Davika Hoorne, and Vietnam’s Hồ Ngọc Hà
The gala featured an elegant dinner, a runway presentation of the Aeterna creations, and a drone light show that traced the contours of the temple.
Traditional performances, including the graceful Apsara Dance and a stirring vocal performance by Cambodia’s renowned tenor, resonated with the audience. These moments echoed a simple truth: BVLGARI’s jewels capture the pulse of history and art.
A separate showroom display at the Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Hotel offered an up-close look at the collection. Here, jewelry is presented on pedestals carved from pink and grey sandstone and red volcanic lava — a design inspired by Khmer motifs and classic Roman forms.
BVLGARI’s Aeterna collection considers every gem, every carefully set stone, and holds a sliver of eternity. In a single evening in Cambodia, heritage and creative vision merged to bring attention to the ideas of beauty, like time itself, endures.
