Bulgari
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 (eventually spelled 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.
Although the house found success with its silverwork and Art Deco designs, popular through the 1920s, its 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.

- Bulgari Trombino Ring, circa 1955By BulgariLocated in Weston, MAOne of Bulgari’s most iconic and instantly recognizable designs, the Trombino ring, was first conceived in 1932 by Giorgio Bulgari as an engagement ring for his future wife, Leonilde Gulienetti. That particular ring was entirely set with diamonds. The bombe form of the ring together with the cluster of gemstones was a pioneering design which celebrated the central gemstone. The central gemstone is usually a brightly colored stone including blue sapphire, ruby, emerald and more rarely a diamond or colored diamond. The brightly colored gemstones recall the colorful Roman cupolas that used to dot the green Italian landscape. The shank of the Trombino features round-cut diamonds with a graduating row of baquette-cut diamonds tapering from the central stone. Elizabeth Taylor owned...Category
