Bulgari for sale on 1stDibs
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.
Finding the Right chain-bracelets for You
When you’re sifting through your classic gold bracelets, diamond bracelets or other elegant links to wear for an evening out, remember that antique and vintage chain bracelets complete and complement any style.
Chain bracelets typically have connected links of metal, often gold or silver, and can be minimally simple or adorned with charms. Examples of chain bracelets date back to Ancient Rome.
Your favorite chain bracelet, like a lot of vintage and antique bracelets, can accent your ensemble and serve as a colorful expression of your personal fashion sense, whether you’re pairing your best tennis bracelet with a stylish Chanel suit or stacking a handful of bangles to wear with your trusty blue jeans.
And styling bracelets is a cinch: Don’t overwhelm a slim wrist with a chunky link chain bracelet, for example. An understated, single-strand leather piece will work better in that instance, while a charm bracelet — one passed down as an heirloom, perhaps — could add a focal point without too much bulkiness.
Antique chain bracelets add unique charm to ensembles and are sure to be cherished keepsakes in any jewelry box. Art Deco chain bracelets, which are frequently embellished with colorful gemstones, are works of art that spark conversations and welcome compliments. The elegance of the 1920s and ’30s is at home with evening wear as well as a classic suit or sheath dress.
Eye-catching bracelets made around the world can adorn wrists and become treasured gifts. Browse gold and jeweled antique chain bracelets on 1stDibs.
