Bulgari Diamond Burma Ruby Bombe Earrings in 18 Karat Gold
Located in Dallas, TX
Exceptional and highly collectible 1980s Bulgari earrings of bombe design, each centering on a vivid-red Burma ruby (approximately 2.5 carats each) and showcasing another 6 carats of very fine white diamonds, all set in 18 karat yellow gold. Two large oval rubies are of richly-saturated color and certified by GIA as Burma geographic origin. - Featuring approximately 6 carats of fine white (approximately F-G color, VVS-VS clarity) marquise, tapered-baguette and round diamonds - Showcasing 2 large oval rubies of approximately 2.5 carats each and a number of smaller buff-top rubies. Both large oval rubies are certified by GIA as Burma geographic origin - These earrings showcase iconic Bulgari 1980s bombe design that is a true collector's item and rare to come by - Clip-on earrings measuring 1in (2.5cm) in length and width and in excellent condition - With Bulgari signature (Bvlgari) and stamp for 18 karat gold - These earrings pair beautifully with Cartier ruby and diamond necklace from the same 1980s period (see additional photos) which is a separate listing in our inventory Detailed description: Central oval rubies are encircled by alternating bands of smaller diamonds and rubies creating an eye-catching color contrast that Bulgari is celebrated for. As a feature of bombe-design, there is a gradual sloping upwards from outer bands to the center rubies that gives the earrings a wonderful 3-dimensional quality and volume. The bombe-design, with a prominent gemstone at its domed center, also echoes the iconic and enduring Bulgari Trombino design (introduced in their rings in the 1930s) which allowed a large gemstone to ‘stand proud’ on top of a pave and baguette diamond setting...

Diamond Rings, Luxury Watches and Other Antique and Vintage Fine Jewelry and Estate Jewelry on 1stDibs

Our love for diamond rings, luxury watches and other antique and vintage fine jewelry and estate jewelry goes back thousands of years.

Jewelry has long been a symbol of spiritual strength, wealth or power and, of course, a means of personal expression. While materials and processes employed by the world’s most popular jewelry housesTiffany & Co., Cartier, BVLGARI and others — have evolved over time, humans still gravitate toward many of the same accessories that our ancestors wore.

Ancient Egyptians were often hard at work designing jewelry and adorning themselves with an array of necklaces, rings and other items, and nearly every Egyptian, rich or poor, was buried with some kind of jewelry. When King Tut’s burial chamber was excavated, it revealed a sense of style that inspired Art Deco jewelry designs.

Brooches and pins remain essentials in our jewelry boxes, although we no longer require them to fasten our garments, as was once their primary use. Rings, which have always been signifiers of eternity, still serve as romantic gifts and tokens of affection.

Engagement rings are still widely recognized as symbols of love and commitment — and as it can be difficult to choose the right one, explore our buying guides for a close look at antique engagement ringsArt Deco engagement rings and vintage engagement rings. [Fun fact: It wasn’t until the 14th century that we learned how to effectively cut diamonds, a critical step in revealing the stone’s brilliance.]

Hoop earrings are imbued with symbolism and cultural significance for many, and on view in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Ancient Near Eastern Art Gallery is a pair of simple gold hoops from Mesopotamia dating to between 2600 and 2500 B.C. We’ve even created our own new, sacred symbols — the Cartier Love bracelet, for example, with its distinctive locking mechanism, is an understated and modernist symbol of love’s promise (with its own captivating history to boot). And, crafted by French jeweler Jacques Arpels of Van Cleef & Arpels, the Magic Alhambra necklace channels luck for the wearer with its universally adored design, which is informed by four-leaf clovers, a plant synonymous with good fortune.

Whether it’s our sentimental charm jewelry, costume jewelry, chunky retro bracelets or minimalist earrings created by contemporary designers, luxurious jewels can elevate any outfit, regardless of your personal style.

Find a wide-ranging collection of authentic antique, new and vintage jewelry today on 1stDibs.
