Hi,
I own the Bulgari Diagano Chronograph watch in YG and black rubber, the B-Zero 1 ring in YG (the 5 band) and the Currio necklace (I think I spelled that incorrectly) it's the raw brown leather necklace with the wrapped YG on the ends with YG loop and large lobster claw with the NYC Subway token encased in the Bulgari pendant. I have the matching bracelet as well. Bulgari makes the sexiest jewelry... I remember the scene from the movie 'Casino' where Robert Deniro's character Sam 'Ace' Rothstein presented Sharon Stone's character Ginger McKenna with a trunk of Bulgari jewelry, she had a ball trying on all the pieces... and I drooled ! lol

I got bit by a jewelry bug lately. I've been pulling out jewelry I haven't worn in ages and fallen in love again and now I want new items to add to the mix. I recently discovered VCA (late to the game I know) and Bvgari! Bvgari has gorgeous pieces (diamonds and 18kt gold to boot!) for such good value compared to all the other popular jewelers. I really love this one called the Bvgari Bvgari earring - does anyone have it? I love that there are pave diamonds and gold, and its simple but sparkly and has excellent ear coverage for everyday use at the office. This would be my first ever Bvgari piece - should I go for it? My alternative would be the sweet onyx Alhambra studs but they're just black and tiny, and $800 more expensive so I was definitely leaning towards Bvgari! Thoughts?
Love the Bulgari... I just posted some of my favorites from Bulgari and you can't go wrong. You can always go back and get VCA later. But the true question for you is.... what makes your heart skip a beat when you see it ?Which one are you in love with ? Which one you just can't live without ? Answer those questions and you will lean towards the one you can't stop thinking about.

This is my only piece of bvlgari jewellery, a WG B-zero ring with Rhodolite stones. Brought it around 2010.
I love it, recently I wear it daily and don’t take it off. However, my finger underneath the ring smells sour after wet. It’s caused by these tiny holes inside the ring which store water after I wash my hand.
The other complaint is that it snatches hair..

Lovely ring but strange to hear it smells after getting wet, definitely sounds like it’s caused by the little holes as you’ve mentioned!

Thank you so very much. I had these items since 2004 and holding up quite well. I really don't take care of my jewelry and wear them on the rough side. I like the roughness to most of my pieces, especially the Bulgari leather and rubber with gold pieces, Makes it look more masculine but still have the feminism touch to it.

These earrings are beautiful! I bought them for my sister as a wedding present. She loves them and wears them often. I would definitely recommend these over the sweet Alhambra!
 
How do they sparkle in real life? Are they substantial on her ears? Your sister is so lucky!!

Bvlgari uses very good quality diamonds I think because while they are melee and extremely insignificant in terms of size they sparkle really beautifully. I would say they are not overly substantial but they do have decent ear coverage on her (but it depends on the size of your lobe I guess, so try them on and see what you think). They are not the kind of earrings I would wear to a big "occasion" just because I like to be really blingy then but if you're looking for something that is discreet but still noticeable for everyday this is a great option! Also, the price/material value tradeoff is probably the best for something like a Bvlgari compared to VCA and Cartier (even though I love the latter, pocket friendly they are not).
 
I see the B Zero 1 rings on the secondhand market sometimes and wonder if I should spring for one (no pun intended). I have stubby farmer's hands and the current fashion for spindly, stackable rings is just not for me. Are they comfortable on the finger? Do they catch on hairs? Do you recommend them on the whole?
