Any Bvlgari / Bulgari wearers out there?

#646
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.

How long have you had this bangle and how much was it then? I’m seriously considering a gold bangle, I’ve been eyeing the Tiffany T1, Cartier Love, and others...But to surprise, the bulgari bzero1 bangle, which is just as attractive, gets little discussion online... I don’t understand why....
P.S your dog is so cute:smile:

Hi Cissy54, I got mine around Jan or Feb of this year and at that time the price in US was around 6300 plus tax. I heard they just increased their price in July so it's a little more now. The all gold bangle will be a little cheaper than mine since I got the one with the brown in the middle. It's a beautiful bracelet and wears nicely. It's very easy to take on and off and I think it's very understated compared to the other bracelets. It doesn't get a lot of attention compared to the Cartier Love or Tiffany T1. They have different model sizes too so if you want a thinner bracelet, they have that too. Hope that helps.

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.

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.
