Vintage Bulgari Parentesi Bracelet Stainless Steel Gold
4208 – AI00
A classic Bulgari bracelet from the Parentesi collection made of stainless steel and 18k gold. The bangle is flexible and has no closure. The Parentesi pattern is created by alternating the yellow gold elements with the steel parts. This bracelet makes a perfect piece for a stack of bracelets. The Parentesi collection was launched by Bulgari in 1982. The name “Parentesi” is Italian word for “parentheses” as the design of the collection reflects this punctuation mark. The collection's pieces feature repeating openwork patterns reminiscent of brackets, creating a visually striking aesthetic. The geometric and linear designs in this collection pay homage to the architectural elements and patterns found in Roman buildings and ruins. This fusion of modern design with ancient inspiration is a hallmark of Bulgari's style. Over the years, Bulgari has continued to evolve the Parentesi collection, introducing new interpretations of the iconic design.
About Bulgari Brand
The history of the Bulgari brand, also known as Bvlgari, is a tale of Italian luxury and craftsmanship that dates back over a century. During such long history, Bulgari places its bets on all things Italian instead of following current design trends. Opulent shapes, bright colored stones and an unorthodox mixture of materials creates that special, always recognizable Bulgari vibe.
The company was founded by Sotirio Voulgaris, a Greek silversmith, in 1884 in Rome, Italy. He later adopted the Italianized name Sotirio Bulgari, which led to the now-famous brand name Bulgari. Brand's designs were heavily influenced by both Roman and Greek art and culture. It is still clearly reflected in Bulgari styles today.
Over time, Bulgari expanded beyond jewelry to include luxury accessories, Bulgari watches, fragrances, and even hotels. Their commitment to quality and craftsmanship remained a defining characteristic.
Today the House added innovation to its core values list. Bvlgari collaborates with various contemporary artists, such as Refik Anadol, Sougwen Chung, and Davide Quayola.

About estate jewelry
Buying jewelry online can be challenging. The quality of the making has not got better over the time while the design is getting more and more generic. Add ever rising prices and you could end up with not finding anything suitable. To purchase a high-quality jewelry piece for an obtainable price consider buying estate items.
• Quality vs Quantity
Estate pieces mostly belong to the era when jewels were handmade and not mass produced. There were simply less jewelry makers at that time and they cared about their reputation. Opposed to the current fast fashion approach, life pace was in general slower. That allowed makers to take more time to craft a truly quality piece.
• Fair Price vs Overpriced
Buying designer pieces aka signed pieces we pay not only for an item itself. The brand advertising campaigns and all the buzz the name is creating is in the cost. Prices for estate jewelry form differently and mostly depend on the cost paid by a seller. A pre-owned Bulgari ring and a brand-new Bulgari piece have a distinct price difference. Ask your local jewelry store about the retail price of the desired piece and you’d be pleasantly surprised.
• True Value vs Seasonal Rush
Pre-owned jewelry retains its value. Over the time it gets rare
and more expensive. Think purchasing a new car that loses its value right after you left your dealer versus buying a vintage vehicle.
At Nadine Krakov Collection we love all things beauty and high-quality. Each of our estate jewelry pieces is in excellent condition. We preserve the history and the greatest styles of the past so our clients can enjoy it at the fullest.
