Important Bulgari Diamond Trombino Ring, ca. 1940s,

The Bulgari Trombino ring centres a 6.11ct (J/VVS2) diamond, accented by step cut and round brilliant-cut diamonds.

The Trombino (translated as ‘little trumpet’) is one of Bulgari’s most successful and long-lasting designs. The first model was made for the wife of Mr. Bulgari in the early 1930s and was instantly popular because it allowed the gemstone to stand proud. The shank of the Trombino ring was a broad band of pavé-set diamonds graduated to a horizontal line of baguette-cut diamonds. Throughout Bulgari’s history, they have made selected few Trombino’s, always with beautiful gem stones and sometimes also with diamonds, such as this one.
