Bulgari Diamond Bracelet Highlights Sotheby’s Magnificent Jewels Auction

A fancy intense blue diamond ring will be available in Sotheby’s upcoming Magnificent Jewels auction. This highly important size seven ring showcases a cut-cornered rectangular brilliant-cut diamond surrounded by round diamonds. Other notable lots include watches and jewelry pieces from Cartier, Harry Winston, and Tiffany & Co. 

Although it was established in 1884, the Bulgari brand wasn’t synonymous with desirable luxury among European nobility and American socialites until the 1960s. After World War II, the Italian luxury company turned to Roman architecture for design and style inspiration. This influence created dramatic, impressive pieces of jewelry that boosted the Bulgari name to celebrity status. Available in this auction is a Bulgari diamond bracelet. Signed and numbered “Bulgari, C1827,” this 1986 bracelet features 25 emerald-cut diamonds weighing a total of 64.92 carats. Each diamond is accented on the sides with baguette and square-cut diamonds. The bracelet’s internal circumference measures six inches. A signed box is included.
