The architectural heritage of a Bvlgari icon
The B.zero1 collection draws its lines from the monumental geometry of Rome's Colosseum. Born at the turn of the millennium, it embodies a sculptural vision where the genius of Antiquity meets contemporary industrial design. This pre-owned ring is a perfect illustration of this radical approach. Crafted in 18-carat white gold, it showcases the statutory allure of the wide 5-row model. Identified under reference AN191028 in the archives of the Roman manufacture, this creation imposes its presence on the finger with quiet strength.
Architecture and jewellery expertise
The design of this piece is based on the singular Tubogas technique. The 5 central rows are assembled without any soldering, creating a complex internal spring that offers unexpected mechanical flexibility to the ring's generous structure. This central band is framed by 2 flat rings bearing the Italian brand's double logo. The absence of stones and setting allows the massive frame to catch the light in a purely architectural way, emphasising the cylindrical volumes of the polished gold.
Why this second-hand ring
The acquisition of this second-hand band represents a savvy opportunity to access one of the broadest and most complex variations of the historic line. The production of 5-stripe models requires considerable precious metal density and assembly time. Opting for this version allows you to benefit from an exceptional volume of gold and an ambitious technical design, for an investment well below the prices of current massive pieces on the jewellery market.
