1980s Bvlgari Diamond Ring 3.72ct in 18ct Yellow Gold

Since its founding in 1884, the House of Bvlgari has become famous worldwide for the warmth and bright colours of their truly iconic Italian style. The house was as its zenith when it was owned and run by the founding family, from 1884 to 2011. Crafted out of richly polished and bold 18ct yellow gold, this statement cocktail ring is a fantastic showpiece. The design is a classic example of a Toi et Moi ring. Derived from the French term meaning “you and me”, it perfectly symbolises the pair of diamonds that feature at the centre of the design. These two stones total 3.00ct, and have been expertly rub over set in a style that has been clearly influenced by the Parentesi range that was first seen in the 1980s. The design is completed by two distinct sections on the shoulders that flash with pave set brilliants. Truly innovative creators, the House gained inspiration from many things to create their collections. These ranged from ancient Roman architecture to the vibrant colours of the Italian summer. The popularity of Bvlgari pieces today is largely due to the late Dame Elizabeth Taylor, who was a well-known jewellery collector and connoisseur. Whilst filming Cleopatra in Rome during the 1960s, she fell in love with her co-star Richard Burton and the pair became frequent visitors to the Bvlgari boutique on the Via Condotti. As such, a large number of Bvlgari pieces featured in her extensive collection when it was sold at Christies in 2011. While always revering its cultural legacy, Bvlgari introduced innovations that rewrote the rules of the jewellery universe and launched new trends that stood out as icons of contemporary design.
