Vintage 18k Gold Tubogas Bracelet

About the Item

A great vintage Tubogas bracelet made of 18k gold. The bracelet is elegant and classic. It has rectangular shape with slightly rounded edges. The bracelet’s geometry it perfect; the vertical lines’ width works well with the overall bracelet's width. The color of gold is warm but not too yellow. The bracelet is smooth, soft and sits great on a wrist. About Tubogas design A distinctive aesthetic of Tubogas was obtained from the gas pipes design. Bulgari adopted this look in 1940s with the help of Carlo Weingrill, who contributed his designer’s vision to the cause. As the name implied, the Tubogas style is flexible and adaptable to any jewelry form, from rings to watches. The actual tubogas technique, which was a plumbing manufacturing process, came from the 19th century. The technique required wrapping metal in tight coils around a central rode that was later removed, allowing to make a hollow chain. In the 1940s this process inspired a few French makers and Bulgari (in collaboration with Weingrill) to massively use this principle in jewelry making. The Tubogas technique was used for the famous Bulgari watch series called Serpenti. It symbolizes snake, a widely popular element in ancient Roman culture.
