Vintage Bvlgari Alveare Parentesi Bi Colour 18ct Gold Snake Style Ring

A striking vintage Bulgari Alveare Parentesi ring, crafted in 18ct bi-colour gold and dating to circa 1980s.

The bold, articulated design features interlocking geometric motifs in contrasting yellow and white gold, forming a distinctive wrap-around, serpent-inspired silhouette. The alternating sections curve elegantly around the finger, evocative of serpent scales, while the graduated, chevron-like forms create a dynamic sense of movement.

With its fluid construction, substantial proportions and sculptural profile, the ring exemplifies Bulgari’s distinctive approach to bold, architectural jewellery. The interplay of polished yellow and white gold further enhances the graphic quality of the design, giving the piece a powerful yet sophisticated presence.

A particularly striking example of 1980s Bulgari design, combining the maison’s signature geometric aesthetic with the enduring symbolism of the serpent.
