A signature design by Bulgari, created in Rome during the 1980s, this ring belongs to the iconic Doppio collection and exemplifies the house’s bold yet sophisticated design language. Handcrafted in solid 18-karat yellow gold, the stepped and textured goldwork gives the ring a sculptural presence, while retaining an effortless elegance.
Set in polished bezels are two natural, vividly saturated gemstones cut into matching ovals: a tourmaline weighing approximately 1.66 carats and a peridot of approximately 1.8 carats. Bulgari’s celebrated mastery of color is fully expressed here. The pairing is deliberate, chosen for the visual rhythm and harmony created by the contrast between tourmaline’s rich pink tones, often associated with vitality and passion, and peridot’s luminous green, long prized since antiquity for its fresh, life-affirming glow. Together, they lend the ring a notably light and joyful aura.
Timeless yet unmistakably of its era, this striking 1980s design makes a confident statement on the hand, equally suited to everyday wear or special occasions.
Bulgari Context
Founded in Rome in 1884, Bulgari has consistently drawn inspiration from the city’s classical architecture and love of color. In the late 20th century, the house became renowned for pairing unexpected gemstones and embracing bold, architectural goldwork. The Doppio collection reflects this Roman heritage, translating monumental form and Italian flair into a jewel that remains instantly recognizable.
