18K Rose Gold Bvlgari Roma B. Zero Ceramic Ring

Bvlgari is an Italian luxury brand known for its jewellery, watches, fragrances, accessories and leather goods. The B.zero1 is a symbol of Bvlgari's visionary spirit. The design house of Bvlgari describes this designer ring as "drawing its inspiration from the most renowned amphitheatre in the world, the Colosseum". The B. Zero1 ring is a true statement of Bulgari’s creative vision, challenging the very essence of jewellery design. It is a jewellery creation that embodies the infinite journey of self-expression, a design statement to stand out from the ordinary. The purity of its distinctive spiral is a metaphor for the harmony of past, present and future—reflected in the magnificence of the eternal city—and the emblem of the pioneering spirit of the collection.

In 2014, Bvlgari celebrated its 130th Anniversary by launching a new B.Zero1 ring called the Roma. In the 130 years since Sotiro Bulgari opened the first Bvlgari boutique in Rome back in 1884, the jeweller has grown from strength to strength, becoming the fine jewellery designer adorned by movie stars and high societies around the world. To mark its 130th anniversary, they launched special editions of jewellery, watches, accessories and perfumes, kicking off with the new B.zero1 Roma, as a tribute to its home, the Eternal City that is Rome. The B.zero1 ring is one of the house’s most iconic pieces, launched at the end of 1999, featuring the Tubogas motif and the Bvlgari logo (two hallmarks of the label’s iconography) showcasing it’s radical yet industrial design, rich creative heritage, and enduring style. 

The band is created using an extremely sophisticated technique in which long metal strips are wrapped and interlocked without any soldering. The two flat rings that clasp around the sleek central loops are each engraved with the imposing gravitas of the Bvlgari double logo, with the iconic font introduced for the first time in 1934 with the revamping of the flagship via Condotti store in Rome. It was on this occasion that the Bvlgari family decided to adopt the ancient Roman epigraphy incorporating the Latin “V” instead of the anglicized “U”. The new Roma interpretation of the B.zero1 is marked by soft pink gold and four bands of warm bronze ceramic (cermet). Its circular form brings to mind the circularity of the most representative Roman architectural masterpieces, from the imposing circular grandeur of the ancient Colosseum, Castel Sant’Angelo to the Pantheon. Effortlessly fusing past, present and future, the iconic shape of the ring is a perfect metaphor for continuity. The ring is a size 60 which is comparable to a size 9 or 9.25.
