Discussed extensively in Mascetti and Triossi’s Bvlgari, the leading text on the 100-plus-year-old Roman firm, this incredible tri-part bangle features many of the design elements that made Bulgari an icon of mid-century style. The use of one of Bulgari’s signature color combinations, the two-tone metals, and the relative flexibility make this an historically important piece. The bangle appears to be quite static at first glance but is actually three separate bracelets cleverly conjoined at the comfortably constructed back.
