Bulgari Trombino Ring, circa 1955

About the Item

One 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 one of the most famous Trombino rings which she purchased in 1971. The central stone was a 25 carat sugarloaf cabochon blue sapphire. Our very special Trombino features a stunning rectangular-shaped blue sapphire of approximately 12 carats. The sapphire is medium to medium-dark saturation with even natural color. The ring was made circa 1955 and is signed Bulgari. The round-cut diamonds weigh approximately 4.5 carats and the baquette-cuts total approximately 0.50 carats. Rectangular-cut blue sapphire of approximately 12 carats, no indications of heat treatment Approximately 5 total carats of diamonds Weighs 18.1 grams Signed Bulgari Circa 1955 Size 6.75 (resizable)

  • Tiffany & Co. Blue Book Great Gatsby Onyx and Diamond Ring, 2013
    By Tiffany & Co.
    Located in Weston, MA
    In 1845 Charles Tiffany introduced the Blue Book, a selection of the American jeweler’s finest offerings and the country’s very first mail-order catalog. The Blue Book subsequently became famous as an annual showcase of the firm’s rarest gemstones and most extraordinary, limited-edition designs. In 2013 Tiffany turned to its extensive archives for the inspiration of The Great Gatsby Collection, a creative collaboration between the jeweler and filmmakers Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin to celebrate their adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Jazz Age classic. The Gatsby Collection jewels are based on pieces made by Tiffany in the 1920s, when they were known as one of the leading arbiters of the new Art Deco style. The jewelry captured the optimistic spirit of the time and featured an extravagant blend of bold, geometric forms and sleek lines designed to accent the streamlined clothing of the most stylish women of the day. With her bobbed hair, bare arms, dressed in sparkling diamonds and cascading ropes of pearls, the classic flapper represented a distinctly modern and independent-minded American aesthetic. This glamorous cocktail ring, one of only two produced, centers on a substantial 8-carat cushion-cut black onyx surrounded by a halo of bezel-set diamonds that call to mind bubbles dancing in champagne. The ring is seen throughout the film on Jordan Baker, Fitzgerald’s representation of the era’s “new” woman – chic and athletic, carefree and self-sufficient. The Jazz Age was a time of exuberant creativity and original thought. Its cultural contributions and iconic designs continue to resonate today. It seems only fitting that this quintessential American jewelry house should revisit their own storied legacy to craft the jewels for Fitzgerald’s masterwork of American fiction as he, himself, was a Tiffany customer...
