Thank you! This is very helpful. The last time I checked the all gold bzero1 bracelet was around 4,000 pre-tax. What a bummer that they just had a price increase!
It’s so true that some of their beautiful jewelry gets understated (and even under-presented on this forum). I think the Fiorever collection is similar to VCA’s Frivole but it doesn’t get as much attention either. :sad:

Oh I love the Fiorever collection. I love the design and how the flower moves. It's much more unique than VCA in my opinion. I hope you find your ideal bracelet. They do make beautiful jewelries.

I recently bought a preloved Bulgari Bzero1 3-band ring in excellent condition; made in Milan.
I couldn’t be happier with it. I keep stop looking at it on my finger; it’s so beautiful!

It’s slightly tricky to put on and remove though as you’d want to be careful with the moving part in the middle, so I hold the outer bands together and slowly wiggle my finger until the ring is off.

Endrew23, your ring is lovely! Where did you buy your ring from and how did you determine that it was authentic? I have my eye on the bzero1 necklace but I’m scared of buying a fake! Since the authenticate this thread for jewelry is closed and I don’t know of any jewelry authentication services I’m not sure what to do.

Thanks iusen. I bought my Bzero.1 ring from Fashionphile. I have more confidence in them than others and their grading system is also excellent; my ring looks hardly used!
Just from my experience, I would look at leading consignment stores as well as reputable jewellery/preloved stores. I’m in the UK and have purchased some preloved highend jewelleries in 18k gold from stores who specialises in preloved items. Obviously, I couldn’t guarantee authenticity but just sharing my experience!

That’s a good idea, I was about to do the same from a reputable jeweler but someone else bought it first! Also eyeing one from someone who seems to be clearing out her closet on ebay but it scares me that I can’t guarantee authenticity. Did you bring the ring in store to have it serviced and if so what did you/they say?

Yes, agreed. I could never buy high end real gold jewelleries on eBay. I'm sure it's fine and nothing against it at all. I'm just very aware of horror stories related to buying high end pieces on eBay - maybe reputable sellers like BrandOff (Japan) might work?

My jewellers tested and confirmed both my Bulgari and Gucci rings are 18K gold; due to the pandemic and the fact that my rings don't need servicing, I never went to visit respective brand stores.

I‘ve heard of horror stories too, but it seems that ebay does have strong buyer protection? One of the big selling points to me is that they have the certificat of authenticity and original receipt.

I normally just wear the B.Zero1 with diamonds as it is my current wedding ring, the one on the left was my original wedding ring but is a bit too snug now on that finger (after two babies). I just had them cleaned from my jewelers and the diamonds are all sparkly again.

Love them! The diamond bzero1 looks ever so classy. Is it in a full eternity style?

I have the Bulgari B - Zero 1 ring 5 band in Yellow Gold and it's so comfortable and great looking. A timeless classic. I wear this as my wedding band instead of my Graff diamond eternity emerald cut wedding band.

I would love pictures of both! Pretty please!
It seems like some of the newer bags now have a bulky chain (some mixed with leather) not the sleek serpenti one , which is pretty disappointing to me tbh.
How do you find these bags hold up ? Are they daily bags or more special occasion?
