Bulgari Three-Stone Rings

Italian

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.

From Emilio Jewelry New York, An exceptional and rare 6.15 carat natural Kashmir sapphire, displaying a richly saturated cornflower royal blue color and remarkable transparency, set in a refined signed Bulgari platinum diamond ring. Important Kashmir sapphires of this caliber are rarely offered publicly and are typically placed directly into long-term private collections. This stone has that alive, glowing, velvety royal blue that no other origin can replicate. This Kashmir is unlike any other. A superb Royal Blue Kashmir sapphire of exceptional saturation and tone, exhibiting the coveted velvety texture and soft luminosity that define the finest stones from this legendary origin. The sapphire has been confirmed as Kashmir origin with no indications of heat by three of the world’s most respected gemological laboratories: American Gemological Laboratories (AGL), SSEF Swiss Gemological Institute, and Gübelin Gem Lab. What many consumers don’t know is that for a Kashmir sapphire to be considered a Top Stone it must be certified by all 3 laboratories ssef, Gubelin, and AGL. Many Kashmir sapphires only have one certificate or none of the above labs which means its value is a fraction of a Kashmir with the 3 labs mentioned above. Kashmir sapphires are widely regarded as the most desirable sapphires in the world, celebrated for their distinctive velvety blue color and exceptional rarity. Stones exceeding five carats with confirmed Kashmir origin and no heat treatment are extraordinarily scarce. This sapphire possesses the qualities collectors seek most: a vivid royal blue hue, excellent brilliance, and outstanding clarity. The stone is loop clean, a rare characteristic for Kashmir sapphires of this size. Gübelin has further awarded the gemstone an Exceptional Gemstone Rating of 88, a distinction reserved for stones of superior quality and beauty. The sapphire is elegantly mounted in a signed Bulgari platinum ring, accented by emerald-cut diamond side stones that frame the center gemstone while maintaining a timeless and sophisticated design. Important Kashmir sapphires of this caliber are rarely offered publicly and are typically placed directly into long-term private collections. A remarkable opportunity to acquire a museum-worthy natural Kashmir sapphire of significant size, provenance, and rarity. Private viewings are available by appointment. ⸻ Details Center Stone: Natural Sapphire Origin: Kashmir Weight: 6.15 carats Treatment: No indications of heat Shape: Cushion mixed cut Color: Royal Blue Certification • American Gemological Laboratories (AGL) • SSEF Swiss Gemological Institute • Gübelin Gem Lab Mounting • Signed Bulgari • Platinum • Emerald-cut diamond side stones Serious inquiries are invited for this exceptional Kashmir sapphire.

Questions About Bulgari Three-Stone Rings
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not Bulgari is handmade depends on the piece.

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024
    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. However, in advertising and in its logo, Bulgari's brand name appears as BVLGARI. 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.

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. Second, all pieces should be stamped with “made in Italy” and a “BVLGARI” text. Note that Bulgari uses the classic Latin alphabet, which is why a “V” is used in place of a “U.” Browse a large collection of authentic Bulgari jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

    Gèrald Genta designed the Bulgari Diagono. When the timepiece debuted in 1988, it was the first sports watch the Italian luxury fashion house and watchmaker had ever produced.

  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 5, 2024
    Bulgari watches are expensive for a few reasons. For one thing, Bulgari's artisans often use painstakingly complex, time-consuming crafting techniques to make the dramatic timepieces. One example is the tubogas jewelry technique, which links a flexible series of thin horizontal bands and is what gives Bulgari's iconic Serpenti watch its coiling effect. Due to the amount of time and skill it takes to execute its techniques, Bulgari tends to have high labor costs. In addition, the luxury maker uses pricey materials such as 18-karat gold, platinum and titanium. Also, the number of Bulgari watches produced each year is usually less than the demand for them, which leads to higher pricing. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of Bulgari watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024
    Yes, many watch lovers believe that Bulgari watches are worth the money. Since the founding of its flagship store in 1905, Bulgari has looked to Rome as a source of reference for its fanciful and decidedly romantic watches and other pieces. 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, and its timepiece remains popular among collectors today. However, whether or not it’s worth investing in Bulgari watches is totally subjective! At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    No, the Bulgari Serpenti watch is not waterproof. However, it is water-resistant up to 30 meters. Waterproof means that a timepiece blocks out water, while a water-resistant timepiece resists water entry but can let some moisture in. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Bulgari Serpenti watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    Yes, Bulgari uses real diamonds. In fact, the luxury jewelry maker is well-known for adorning its jewelry with diamonds that meet high color, clarity and cut standards. Many diamonds featured in Bulgari jewelry carry GIA certification, indicating that they meet quality standards established by the Gemological Institute of America. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of Bulgari diamond jewelry.
