Bvlgari
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. Since then, BVLGARI 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, BVLGARI’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, BVLGARI 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 BVLGARI brand.
On 1stDibs, the collection of vintage BVLGARI jewelry includes rings, pendant necklaces, watches and other accessories.

- Black Opal And Diamond RingLocated in New Orleans, LAThis fascinating ring features an eye-catching Ethiopian black opal. The magnificent gemstone displays a fantastic play of color, reflecting a rainbow of vivid hues. The beautiful and rare stone is encircled by diamonds, multiplying its brilliance. The ring is set in lustrous 18K yellow gold. The opal’s magnificent kaleidoscope of hues is the result of tiny silica spheres diffracting light, splitting it into a spectrum of colors and creating interference that allows certain colors to dominate depending on the angle the opal is viewed. The result is a magical display of this beautiful play-of-color phenomenon. Ethiopian opals are a relatively new discovery in modern gemology. While “Chocolate opal...Category
