Bvlgari Launches Yellow Gold Bvlgari Tubogas Jewellery Collection

Drawing inspiration from the pioneering techniques of the 1940s, the new collection is available in an array of styles.

This year, Bvlgari explores its vast archives to introduce the new Bvlgari Tubogas line, inspired by the famous method that characterised the Maison’s avant-garde approach to high jewellery.

The Tubogas method, inspired by the pipe utilised for transporting pressurised gas in the 1920s, was initially adopted by Roman jewellers in the 1940s, during the predominance of Art Déco in the jewellery market. It rapidly became integral to the Jewellery House’s unique style, establishing its hallmark design language, refined aesthetic, and pioneering vision in the industry.

The new Bvlgari Tubogas line, rooted in the brand's illustrious tradition, showcases its remarkable craftsmanship. The pieces are crafted by intertwining two strips of gold around a central core, enabling them to join flawlessly without soldering due to the careful detail involved in their creation. The outcome: rendering gold pliable, while also ensuring exceptional durability and longevity.

This masterful method was initially utilised in the construction of the Maison's famed Serpenti Tubogas jewellery watch in 1948. By the 1970s, Bvlgari integrated this into its other hallmark collections, and it rapidly became a highly sought-after design favoured by influential personalities of the era. The distinctive process remains in use today, influencing the design of its jewellery collection.

The Maison reverts to its origins with the introduction of the new Bvlgari Tubogas collection, including a complete offering in 18-carat yellow gold that pays homage to its heritage through the use of this precious metal. Consisting of many components and styles that embody the brand's DNA, the collection features three bracelet variations in minimal yellow gold, tri-gold, and pavé studs, which constitute the essence of the range, all accompanied by coordinating necklaces. Bvlgari has recently unveiled its most exquisite collection: the Tubogas Parentesi. The design, influenced by audacious 1970s aesthetics, draws inspiration from Roman sidewalks and honours the Maison's profound Italian history.

The entire collection includes three novel necklace designs featuring an unprecedented triangle shape. This distinctive style exemplifies the expert experimentation undertaken by the Maison's artisans, who persist in expanding the limits of inventive jewellery creation that has always characterised its refined aesthetic.

Bvlgari is enhancing its Serpenti collection by introducing two jewellery sets in yellow gold, which include a necklace and ring set, as well as a bracelet and an exceptionally exquisite necklace, while drawing inspiration from mythology and history during the launch. Constructed similarly to the Tubogas, it features an exceptional design wherein the distinctive snake's head can be opened and closed, enabling customisation to the wearer's preference.
