"The Bulgari Connection" is a 2001 novel by Fay Weldon that became notorious for its commercial tie-in: in exchange for £18,000 from the jeweler Bulgari, she was required to mention the name of the jeweler at least 12 times. Such a move was unprecedented for a published, established author ("The Bulgari Connection" was her 23rd novel), and a front-page article was published about it in the "New York Times", quoting such writers as Rick Moody, J. G. Ballard, Michael Chabon, and Jeanette Winterson.

The story concerns a character named Grace McNab Salt, and her re-integration into high society after ending a term in prison that she served for attempting to run her husband's mistress Doris Dubois over with her car.
