What kind of Bulgari jewelry do you buy?
At C. Blackburn Jewelers we buy all types of Bulgari estate jewelry. However, we are most interested in Bulgari rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings which have been fashioned in 18k gold or platinum, as these have the highest resale value, meaning we can pay more money for these items.
We also are very interested in vintage and antique Bulgari jewelry, pieces that were made while Bulgari’s founder Sotirios Voulgaris (and then later his two sons) were still alive and guiding the jewelry making business. Voulgaris (a Greek jeweler) founded Bulgari in Rome in 1884. His earliest jewelry was in the archaeological revival style, harkening back to Greek and Roman styles and themes.
From the 1920s to the 1960s, Bulgari pieces emulated French fashion, from Edwardian to Deco to Retro. In the 1970s, Bulgari jewelry was known for its use of daring color combinations and large, cabochon-cut gemstones and geometric shapes forming repetitive patterns. Also popular during this period was Bulgari’s coin jewelry. Old coins, often quite large, were set in bezels and attached to a curb-link chain.
Some of the most popular Bvlgari collections that C. Blackburn Jewelers is interested in include:
Serpenti: Introduced in the 1940s, the Serpenti collection is one of Bulgari’s most iconic and enduring lines. Inspired by ancient Greek and Roman mythology, the snake motif represents rebirth, transformation, and eternity. The collection includes watches, bracelets, necklaces, and rings, all characterized by the sinuous and seductive form of a serpent. Its intricate craftsmanship and luxurious appeal have made it a favorite among celebrities and collectors.
B.Zero1: Launched in 1999, the B.Zero1 collection is celebrated for its bold and innovative design. Inspired by Rome’s Colosseum, the collection features a distinctive spiral shape, symbolizing infinity and the harmonious blending of past, present, and future. The use of modern materials such as ceramic, alongside traditional gold and diamonds, has made B.Zero1 a contemporary classic.
Parentesi: The Parentesi collection, introduced in the 1980s, is inspired by the architectural elements of ancient Rome, particularly the joints and brackets seen in Roman stonework. The interlocking, modular design of Parentesi pieces allows for endless combinations, making it a versatile and enduring line. This collection includes necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings, characterized by their geometric shapes and elegant simplicity.
Monete: The Monete collection, first introduced in the 1960s, showcases Bvlgari’s fascination with ancient coins. This vintage collection incorporates authentic antique coins into modern jewelry designs, creating a unique fusion of history and contemporary style. Each piece in the Monete collection is a wearable piece of art, reflecting Bulgari’s rich heritage and love for ancient cultures.
Tubogas: The Tubogas collection, named after the flexible gas pipes it resembles, was introduced in the 1940s. This collection is characterized by its seamless, flexible bands of metal, which are crafted without soldering. The technique involves wrapping long strips of gold or steel around a core, resulting in a smooth, spring-like structure. Tubogas is used in Bulgari bracelets, necklaces, and watches, offering a sleek and modern look.
Diva’s Dream: Inspired by the grandeur and elegance of Rome’s Caracalla Baths and the mosaic patterns found within, the Diva’s Dream collection was introduced in the 2010s. This collection celebrates the feminine allure and glamour, featuring fan-shaped motifs adorned with vibrant gemstones and diamonds, every piece paying tribute to the timeless beauty and charm of women.
Fiore di Bulgari: This vintage Bvlgari collection draws inspiration from the natural world, and is known for its floral motifs and vibrant use of colored gemstones. This collection reflects Bulgari’s love for nature and its ability to capture the delicate beauty of flowers in precious metals and stones.
Astrale: Bulgari introduced the Astrale collection in the early 2000s. It’s known for its celestial inspiration and striking use of color. The designs often feature concentric circles and clusters of gemstones, creating a radiant and dynamic effect. Astrale pieces, which include necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, are characterized by their bold, statement-making appeal and are a testament to Bvlgari’s ability to blend artistry with innovation.
