A MAGNIFICENT DIAMOND BRACELET, BY BULGARI, CIRCA 1950The highly articulated bracelet designed with three rows of brilliant-cut diamonds within claw-setting, mounted in platinum, diamonds approximately 20-22cts total, signed Bvlgari, with maker's case, length 17cmThe Pindhos mountain range in Greece has long been revered as an esteemed place. The peaks were once seen as a place for worship, reverent believers congregating at the Sanctuary of Dodona to praise Zeus. Others acknowledged the mountains as concealing the entrance to the Underworld and poets, such as Homer, immortalised the range through their words. In more recent years, the mountains have yielded something more tangible, but nonetheless remarkable. Here, in the village of Kallarrytes, we find an ancient silversmithing trade whose humble origins gave rise to one of the greatest jewellery houses in the world: Bulgari.The Pindhos silver trade was painstakingly passed from father to son and, with the birth of Sotirios Boulgaris in 1857, the tradition was continued. Growing up in the village of Paramythia, Sotirios deftly developed his skills as a silversmith and when his family was forced to leave the town, he and his father travelled from place to place selling their trade. However, unrest continued to grow under Ottoman rule and the Boulgaris family made the decision to leave Greece and settled in Corfu. Here, the young Sotirios grew restless, pulled by his desire to achieve greater things and, thus, when the opportunity was offered to him by his old acquaintance and fellow silversmith, Demetrios Kremos, he left his father and travelled to Italy. After a brief spell in Naples, Kremos and Boulgaris arrived in Rome in 1881, virtually penniless but determined to make their mark. They set up a small shop at 75 Via Sistina but within three years their success had spurred Sotirios to leave the partnership and he established his own shop at No.85.Sotirios' business flourished and, ten years later, he opened a second shop, trading in antiques, silver and jewels. It is from this point that we see Sotirios losing his Greek identity and reinventing himself under the name of Bulgari.In 1905, Sotirios began to put a greater emphasis on jewellery and introduced his sons, Constantino and Giorgio to the business. He purchased a new building at 10 Via dei Condotti and, by the end of WWI, jewellery had become the focus of Bulgari, with silver and antiques only being sold on a small scale.In 1932, Sotirios passed away, leaving his company and the foundations of a legacy in the capable hands of his two sons. Constantino and Giorgio wasted no time in transforming Bulgari's image and they expanded the shop at Via dei Condotti, reopening in 1934. The Condotti premises encapsulated what 30s' decadence truly meant. Porphyry urns and marble columns rose from highly polished floors whilst gilded surfaces softly reflected those lucky enough to walk by. Yet the true luxury was cradled within finely made cabinets as jewels glimmered alongside carefully worked silver and gold.With a particular interest in jewellery, Giorgio took the over the main running of the business, which allowed Constantino to follow his true passion which, loyal to his ancestors, was the study of silver. As the centre of jewellery production, Giorgio made frequent trips to Paris to buy high quality jewels and was exposed to the latest ideas in fashion, allowing Bulgari to be a spearhead for fine jewellery design. After thirty years at the helm, steering Bulgari into position as one of the leading names in jewellery, Giorgio passed the business to his three sons, just one year before he died in 1966. They inherited a company that was now synonymous with celebrity and high-end luxury. Bulgari was jeweller to the stars, counting amongst its patrons royalty, business magnates, actors and heiresses. Since then, the company has only grown in strength, with stores around the globe and a strong international following.The 1950s and 60s heralded in a golden era for Bulgari. Already prosperous, the post-war economic boom lifted jewellery to new heights. During this time, Bulgari become known for its rare and precious stones and was keenly sought after by all who wanted a jewel more inspiring than any they had ever owned. During the 50s, Paris was still the centre of jewellery production and thus Bulgari's designs were heavily influenced by French style. Asymmetrical floral sprays were particularly popular, the motifs born from the Rococo period of the 18th century. Curving lines and feminine bows worked to offset exquisite, coloured stones, set against white metal to enhance the lucidity of the gems.In the early 1960s, Italian jewellery was finally given the pedestal that it deserved and was able to step forth from France's shadow. 1962 saw the first exhibition of Italian jewellers in Paris and one English trade magazine noted that 'Italy has built her post-war revival upon design'. Bulgari now began forging its own style, moving away from dainty pieces and creating bold, symmetrical items in compact forms. Borders lost their more natural, rugged shapes and became smooth, aided by Bulgari's signature use of marquise cut stones angled in the one direction.The flourishing film trade further catapulted Bulgari's name during the 50s and 60s. Enabled by The Cinecittà Studios, directors and filmmakers shot on location in Rome, dubbing the city 'Hollywood on the Tiber'. Stars flocked to the eternal city, sent by work but captivated by the luxury held within. In particular, Bulgari became the go to place for the visiting elite, with Elizabeth Taylor stating that "undeniably one of the biggest advantages to filming Cleopatra in Rome was Bulgari's shop". Taylor's relationship with the brand became a lifelong love affair and she amassed a jewellery collection which went on to set records when it was sold at auction in 2011.Andy Warhol could also be seen walking through the doors at Via Condotti. An advocate for design, Warhol declared Bulgari as aesthetic creators when he claimed that a visit to Bulgari provided 'the best exhibition of contemporary art'. As they strived ahead with ever more daring designs, Bulgari's signature creations were bold and unashamed. They boasted bright stones, dazzling diamonds and formidable shapes, all artfully coming together in such a way that they might enhance the wearer but not outshine them.Condition Report: Diamonds: approx. 20-22cts total, estimated colour E/F/G, estimated clarity VS (loupe clean)Signature located on the claspTested by the jewellery department to be platinumVerbally authenticated by Bulgari Heritage department in Rome Normal signs of wear, overall in good conditionTotal gross weight approx. 47.62g

A GOLD BRACELET, BY WEINGRILL, CIRCA 1950Designed as a series of interlocking polished gold links, in 18K gold, with maker's mark 'CW' for Carlo Weingrill, Italian assay mark for Verona, length 19cmBorn in Verona in 1856, Carlo Weingrill began his career early, earning an apprenticeship in a goldsmith's shop at the age of eleven. After over a decade of training, Carlo established his own workshop in his hometown in 1879. It specialised in making the finest 18ct gold jewels using the highest quality materials and craftsmanship. From the beginning Carlo employed goldsmiths who handcrafted their jewellery rather than using machines. The importance of this kind of artistry and exceptional knowledge of one material was very important to the vision of the Weingrill brand. This tradition of expertise continues within the company and the jewellery produced are timeless pieces, wearable works of art such as heavy gold link chains and bracelets which fit the body perfectly. While intricate in their composition such as the complex interlinked design of the bracelet in this sale, they are comfortable and also highly elegant everyday pieces. After Carlo's death in 1924, the company was taken over by his two sons Armando and Gastone. They set about expanding this artisan company into a major international name which gained worldwide prestige for its workmanship. However, despite its success, the house has always remained tied to its history, with the fourth generation of the Weingrill family, Carlofilippo, now head of the company. Gold has always been the mainstay of the company's designs, eschewing diamonds and coloured gemstones, which are used sparingly. The distinctive warm yellow tone of the Italian gold has become synonymous with the house, with Weingrill designing some of the most famous signature gold jewellery of the 20th century. For Cartier they created the Trinity bangles, the gold cuff bracelets for Tiffany and probably most notably the tuboga-style bracelets, necklaces and rings for Bulgari.

The complex techniques required to imitate the sinous form of a serpent coiling around a wrist were perfected during the 1960s and 1970s and today, the Serpenti collection of jewellery is regarded as one of Bulgari's most iconic lines. During the 1950s and 1960s, Rome become a popular location for shooting Hollywood's star-studded Roman epics and Bulgari's store on the Via Condotti attracted an impressive and international clientele of high-profile actors and socialites. It was through this highly publicised association that Bulgari came to epitomise La Dolce Vita, then very much in vogue in Europe and America. During this era, Bulgari began to break away from the trends previously set by other European jewellers and the distinctive feature that really came to set them apart was their bold and unrestrained use of colour. Bulgari had become very active in the Indian market during the 1950s, buying up coloured diamonds and gemstones of exceptional quality, some with ancestral provenance. Lots 113 - 115 exemplify this cultural journey and Bulgari's inspired use of colour, evoking the true spirit of Italian glamour.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
