Bvlgari (Bulgari)
Italian, 1884
Founded in Rome in 1884, Bvlgari (also spelled Bulgari) is one of the world’s most iconic luxury jewelry houses, celebrated for its bold Italian glamour, architectural design, and mastery of color. Over more than a century, Bvlgari has created instantly recognizable pieces worn by icons such as Elizabeth Taylor, Ingrid Bergman, and Naomi Campbell—becoming synonymous with elegance, extravagance, and innovation.
Bvlgari’s signature style features large-scale gold links, vibrant cabochon gemstones, and unexpected material pairings, including steel and ancient Roman coins. Among its most coveted creations are the Serpenti bracelets—sensuous snake-like forms that originated in the Art Deco era—as well as richly adorned gold chokers and cocktail rings. The brand’s use of color-over-clarity and bold proportions continues to define Italian luxury jewelry design.
Today, vintage Bulgari estate jewelry, including rings, watches, and high-jewelry pieces, is highly sought after by collectors for its sophistication, craftsmanship, and unmistakable aesthetic.
