About the Item

This impressive vintage ring by Bvlgari dates to the late 1980s–1990s, a period during which the Roman Maison embraced bold architectural forms combined with exceptional gemstone quality. Crafted in 18 karat yellow gold, the ring is centered by a remarkable Sri Lankan sapphire weighing approximately 5.88 carats, chosen for its rich saturation and lively internal character. The sapphire, cut in a softly contoured cushion shape, displays a deep, intense blue with natural inclusions typical of high-quality stones from Sri Lanka, adding individuality and depth to the gem. It is securely mounted in a robust yet refined setting that elevates the stone while maintaining a strong sense of balance and wearability. Surrounding the center stone, the ring is extensively set with brilliant-cut and baguette-cut diamonds, arranged in a striking geometric composition that radiates outward from the sapphire. The stepped architecture of the diamond-set shoulders and gallery reflects Bvlgari’s distinctive design language of the era—bold, confident, and unmistakably luxurious. The contrast between the sharp linearity of the baguette diamonds and the scintillation of the brilliant-cut stones creates a dynamic play of light across the surface. The substantial gold mounting enhances the presence of the ring on the hand, while the tapered shank ensures comfort despite its impressive scale. This piece exemplifies Bvlgari’s ability to combine powerful visual impact with refined craftsmanship, resulting in a jewel that feels both timeless and unmistakably of its period. An exceptional acquisition for collectors of signed Italian jewelry, as well as for those seeking a statement sapphire ring with strong design identity and enduring elegance.
