A Serpenti, a Tubogas, a Monete, a 1960s piece in cabochons and yellow gold, or a B.zero1: the house examines and buys your Bulgari pieces, by appointment in Paris or in London.
Bulgari signs bold jewellery that is much sought after on the secondary market — and its Roman pieces of the 1950s to 1980s, in coloured stones and yellow gold, are among the most prized at the great sales. We examine each piece — signature, condition, stones — and make a firm offer to buy it, in Paris at 22 rue Drouot or in London at 100 Hatton Garden.
Complimentary appraisal, immediate offer and immediate payment. These are the creations we look for as a priority — the period pieces first.
The Roman pieces of the 1950s to 1980s: cabochons, frank coloured stones, solid yellow gold; vintage and high-jewellery creations.
Rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches with the serpent motif, enamelled or set.
Supple gold bands wound without soldering, in bracelets, necklaces and watches.
Antique coins set in gold, in necklaces, pendants and rings.
Jewels and watches with the double logotype; the modular gold pieces of the 1980s.
Rings, bracelets and necklaces of the B.zero1 line; the fan motif, set or in hard stones.
Founded in Rome in 1884, the house has signed models recognisable at first glance. Here they are, from the oldest to the most recent.
A wristwatch in Tubogas gold coiled as a serpent opens the line in 1948; bracelets, necklaces and rings follow, set or enamelled.
A supple gold band wound without soldering, a nineteenth-century technique that Bulgari used from the late 1940s and revived in the 1970s.
Cabochons, frank coloured stones, solid yellow gold: the style that made the house's reputation. Pieces to show us before any decision.
Antique coins set in gold, in necklaces, pendants and rings: the first coin jewels date from 1966.
The double name engraved on the bezel of a 1975 watch, which became the Bulgari Bulgari line in 1977: watches, rings, bracelets.
Geometric gold elements assembled like links: Bulgari's modular jewellery.
The spiral inspired by the Colosseum, in rings, bracelets and necklaces.
The fan of the mosaics of the Baths of Caracalla, in gold, hard stones or diamonds.

We look at these six points in front of you, then we make a firm offer.
Serpenti, Tubogas, Monete, coloured-stone pieces of the 1950s to 1980s, or recent B.zero1 and Divas' Dream: each line has its demand.
Yellow, rose or white gold, steel on some watches: the weight counts, the workmanship more.
Cabochons, diamonds, the enamel of the Serpenti: the quality of the stones and the state of the enamel weigh in the offer.
“BVLGARI”, the number and the hallmarks authenticate the piece; they are read in front of you.
Chipped enamel, a deformed Tubogas, scratches: we value the piece as it is. Do not have anything polished or repaired before you come.
They add value to the piece, without being essential.

Pieces carry the house's signature, often engraved BVLGARI, with the V of the Latin alphabet. Made in Italy, they also carry the gold fineness and an Italian maker's mark: a star, a number, the initials of the province.
Sotirio Bulgari opened his first shop in Rome in 1884; the house settled on the via Condotti in 1905. It is still there.
The enamelled scales appeared around 1965; they are screwed, not soldered. The state of the enamel weighs in the price.
