The Roman Splendor of Bulgari

Bulgari established its distinctive identity by creating jewelry that celebrated its Roman heritage through a unique fusion of classical inspiration and modern sensibility. Founded in 1884 by Greek silversmith Sotirio Bulgari, the house developed a bold aesthetic that transformed fine jewelry conventions, introducing unprecedented color combinations, embracing unusual gemstone cuts, and creating volumetric designs that made a powerful visual statement. Their creations embodied Mediterranean exuberance while maintaining exceptional craftsmanship standards that honored Italy’s artistic legacy.

Vintage Bulgari jewelry features characteristic elements including vibrant colored gemstone combinations chosen for chromatic impact rather than traditional hierarchies of value, distinctive cabochon cuts that emphasize color and tactile quality over faceted brilliance, and the architectural volume that gives their pieces a bold presence. Authentication markers include the Serpenti designs that became a house signature, the Monete collection incorporating ancient coins, and the tubogas technique revived and perfected by Bulgari for their flexible gold creations. The 1960s and 1970s represent a particularly significant period when the house’s distinctive “Italian school” aesthetic gained international recognition and influenced the entire jewelry industry.
