Bulgari Jewelry & Watches

Greek silversmith Sotirios Voulgaris arrived in Rome in 1881 and set up his own shop there in 1884, calling it Bulgari, an Italianization of his last name (in the brand's logo, it's styled BVLGARI, using the classical Latin alphabet in a nod to ancient Roman culture). In 1905, he opened the company’s flagship boutique on Rome’s Via dei Condotti. Since then, Bulgari has looked to Rome as a source of reference for its fanciful and decidedly romantic designs for necklaces, bracelets, earrings and other accessories.

Although the iconic jewelry house found success with its silverwork and Art Deco designs, popular through the 1920s, Bulgari’s signature style — bold, often using yellow gold embellished with big colorful gemstones — began to emerge when Sotirios’s sons inherited the business, in 1932.

The brand truly hit its stride in the dolce vita era of the 1950s and ’60s, when the founder’s grandsons Paolo, Gianni and Nicola Bulgari decisively departed from demure traditional styles to develop the house’s exuberant multi-gem looks, attracting celebrity collectors like Elizabeth Taylor.

In the 1940s, Bulgari debuted perhaps its most famous design, the Serpenti bracelet watch. The piece’s snakelike coils were made possible by the tubogas jewelry technique, which links a flexible series of thin horizontal bands. Both the sleek, modern tubogas construction and the sinuous snake motif continue to be synonymous with the Bulgari brand

On 1stDibs, the collection of vintage Bulgari jewelry includes rings, pendant necklaces, watches and other accessories.

Bulgari Coin 'Monete' Necklace in 18k Yellow Gold, circa 1980
By Bulgari
Located in New York, NY
Q: Just how alluring can a 2,000-year-old coin look? Bulgari asked and answered this question with their Monete collection, which debuted in the 1960s and continues to this day. A: When combined with a bold, contemporary setting, the women of Rome and the world will find it most alluring. This iconic Bulgari Monete Ancient Coin Vintage Collar Necklace features five antique Roman coins bezel-set in 18K yellow gold. The style of this stately collar neckclace is worthy of a Roman emperor, with each coin setting soldered to four links of curb chain. The weight of the necklace merits noting at just over five ounces (145.27 grams). Wearing this piece, once can feel the weight of history. Which is rather exhilarating when you think about it. Each coin of the collection is treasured in the idiom of rare and precious gems. It is such a novel recontextualization, that Bulgari incorporates moments of Rome’s Imperial glory into these one-of-a-kind designs, and once again triumphantly captures the timeless sophistication of the Eternal City. The term “ancient” when it comes to coins is defined using Rome as the marker. Ancient defined as anything before the fall of Rome...

    There are a few ways to determine whether or not your Bulgari jewelry is real. First, Bulgari uses the highest quality material for all of its pieces, such as 18-karat gold, platinum, silver or steel with meticulously cut gemstones and diamonds.

    Why Bulgari is spelled Bvlgari comes down to the concept behind the brand's logo and word mark. The actual name of the luxury jewelry house is Bulgari. However, its logo and trademark spell the name as BVLGARI to make it resemble the convention of the Latin alphabet as a reflection of the location of its headquarters in Rome, Italy. In addition, the "V" represents the initial of the last name of founder Sotirios Voulgaris. Find a diverse assortment of Bulgari jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024
    The difference between Bulgari and BVLGARI comes down to usage. Bulgari is the proper name of the luxury Italian jewelry house.

Changing the U to a V is meant to reference the Latin alphabet and represent Bulgari's roots as a company founded in Rome. On 1stDibs, find an assortment of Bulgari jewelry, watches and accessories.
