Roman audacity belted with a purple ribbon
Launched at the dawn of the new millennium in 1999, Bulgari's B.zero1 collection draws its inspiration from the monumental and triumphant architecture of Rome's Colosseum. This second-hand ring appropriates this historic geometry in a bold 4-band version crafted in 18-carat white gold. Between the wide cylindrical borders proudly stamped with the Maison's famous double logo, the heart of the ring unfurls in an uninterrupted spiral entirely paved with amethysts, representing a total volume estimated at between 1.50 and 2.00 carats. The striking contrast between the icy whiteness of the alloy and the purple intensity of these brilliant-cut gems gives this creation a sculptural, textured and deeply desirable allure.
Architecture and jewellery expertise
The massive setting immediately imposes its presence on the finger with its remarkable density and frank profile. The technical expertise of the Italian Manufacture is fully expressed in the design of this low central spiral, firmly framed by two robust flat and smooth borders. The craftsmen who set the jewels chose to use high-precision bead-setting techniques to firmly set the dozens of coloured stones in the hollows of the metal grooves. This ingenious recessed architecture protects the band of gems from external impact while generating a captivating play of relief when the light catches the facets of the paving.
Why this second-hand ring
Going for this second-hand ring is part of a highly strategic and aesthetic acquisition process. This precise model, featuring an opulence of coloured stones in 3 continuous rows, is a rare variation that is no longer offered in the brand's current catalogue. Choosing this iconic piece makes it possible to incorporate a complex architecture and a particularly generous quantity of gold into one's collection for a rational investment, a far cry from the costs demanded by contemporary jewellery creations of the same scale.
