Curator's Notes
Daniela Mascetti and Amanda Triossi's history of Bulgari records that the Trombino was first created in the early 1930s. At the time, Bulgari designers had their finger on the pulse of artistic developments in Paris. They responded to the landmark 1929 exhibition at the Palais Galliera, which marked the beginning of the Art Moderne period in jewelry design, by creating this architecturally-inspired, streamlined vision of a modernist ring. The ring's characteristics came to define Bulgari's unmistakable aesthetic, referencing the Classical-period Roman innovation of the freestanding dome, while the interior echoes that architectural framework in convex form, both features giving the jewel that unique sense of perfectly-proportioned volume for which the firm is so famous.
