Bulgari
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 (in the brand's logo, it's styled 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, Bulgari 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, Bulgari’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, Bulgari 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 Bulgari brand.
On 1stDibs, the collection of vintage Bulgari jewelry includes rings, pendant necklaces, watches and other accessories.

- Spectra Fine Jewelry Black Diamond Necklace Earrings Demi Parure SuiteBy Spectra Fine JewelryLocated in New York, NYIt may come as a surprise that many have argued black diamonds are much more rare than colorless diamonds. One in 10,000 natural diamonds is classed as fancy colored, and only a handful are truly black. Natural Black diamonds are somewhat different from most other diamonds in that they are entirely opaque. However, like colorless diamonds, black diamonds sparkle rainbow colors when their light is deflected to other surfaces. In other words, colors shoot from the diamond when direct sunlight hits the stone. Interestingly, black diamonds symbolize justice and inner strength while representing courage to stand out from the crowd. The carat weight of this Spectra Fine Jewelry Black Diamond Demi-Parure Suite is quite dazzling at an estimated 270 carats. The suite, made in the 21st century, circa 2010s, comprises two pieces—a necklace and a pair of button earrings. The 17.75-inch (45.08 cm) necklace is constructed like a classic strand of pearls, featuring a single knotted strand of 61 graduated black diamond faceted beads ranging in size from approximately 7.00 mm to 11.15 mm. The gross weight is 53.2 grams. The closure at the back is comprised of two parts crafted in 18K white gold—a round metal bead and a pop clasp that seamlessly integrates with the design. The necklace has the eye-catching elegance of a strand of Tahitian pearls, which are similarly more extensive, ranging from 8 mm to 11 mm, like these beads. This black diamond strand can be evaluated according to five of the seven value factors in evaluating pearls and earns 5 out of 5 exquisite marks in size, shape, color, surface quality, and matching, except luster and nacre quality, the substance from which pearls are made that determines luster. These black diamond faceted beads are much blacker and with subtly dramatic sparkle instead of luster. And, of course, they are diamonds with unique and extraordinary beauty, exuding drama and luxury. Although they are fully saturated stones, they still have that sparkle special only to diamonds, more so than other black stones like spinel or onyx. The lovely button earrings are crafted in 18K white gold with clip-back closures and measure .88 inches (2.22 cm) in length. The earrings feature a pair of faceted pear shape black diamonds bezel-set with the thinnest of outlines separating the principal stone from its lovely pear-shaped halo. The halo is comprised of round brilliant-cut black diamonds set with prongs. The gross weight of the earrings is 11.7 grams. The pear shape is classic, and its facets pick up the facets of the necklace. As a black diamond pear...Category
