With Gold & Steel, Bvlgari redefines one of its most radical and defining creative territories: the combination between precious gold and stainless steel, that has shaped the brand’s avant-garde language since the 1970s. This bold material fusion finds new expression through two B.zero1 rings, conceived for lightness, comfort and everyday wear in two and four-band versions, alongside with a Bvlgari Tubogas jewelry set and striking High Jewelry creations, as well as the Serpenti Tubogas Studs Capsule watch collection. Long celebrated for their experimental spirit, distinctive aesthetics and ingenious craftsmanship, with this striking material interplay the two Maison’s signatures continue to bridge heritage and modernity, reaffirming their status as ever-evolving icons.
The pinnacle of Bvlgari's material experimentation
Gold & Steel is more than a material pairing. It is a creative stance that reflects Bvlgari’s drive to define its own rules. As a High Jeweler that has always expanded its creative vocabulary, Bvlgari has consistently sought new aesthetic languages, where inventive vision takes shape through ingenious craftsmanship.
Since the 1970s, steel has entered Bvlgari’s world of jewelry. A material traditionally valued for its resistance and durability, yet notoriously complex to shape in jewelry-making, was brought into dialogue with the nobility of gold: a union of opposites that only the Roman Maison has dared to envision.
This fearless approach, demanding state-of-the-art technical expertise and inventive mastery, soon opened the way to further explorations beyond traditional materials: in the 1990s with the porcelain- and-gold Chandra collection, and later in the 2010s with B.zero1 ceramic-and-gold variations.
Through these explorations, material experimentation became a defining signature of the brand, a territory where creative audacity and exceptional savoir-faire converge, united by the spirit of Italian genius.
B.zero1, and Bvlgari Tubogas channel this pioneering heritage through avant-garde designs, that embrace the contemporary expression of Gold & Steel.
B.zero1: Contemporary design & everyday wearability
B.zero1 introduces two rings, a four-band and a two-band version, crafted in steel and framed by yellow-gold outer edges. Once again, the compact space of the B.zero1 ring becomes a field for experimentation: the iconic spiral finds its identity expression through contrast, capturing the idea of perpetual motion within a sculptural form. Steel reinforces the design’s architectural strength, drawing from the rhythm of Rome’s ancient columns, while gold brings warmth and definition.
Designed for everyday wear, the new rings feature a slim, streamlined profile that highlights steel’s lightness, ensuring comfort and effortless versatility. Their stackable design allows them to be worn alone or layered, seamlessly integrating within the unique B.zero1 universe and inviting personal styling through endless mix-and-match possibilities. Born in 1999 to defy conventions, B.Zero1 continues to evolve while remaining unmistakably true to itself.
Bvlgari Tubogas: Timeless icon, visionary craft
A collection defined by visionary innovation, Bvlgari Tubogas presents a necklace and a bracelet that weave a dialogue between audacious aesthetic and jewelry design. Echoing a bold Bvlgari design from the 1970s, the creations feature the iconic flexible, seamless coils crafted in steel. Yellow gold studs punctuate the surface, adding depth and a refined play of contrasts. Gold and steel converge in a seamless exchange, elevating the design’s fluid movement and revealing a vision where bold creativity meets exceptional craftmanship.
Originally drawn from gas pipes and conceived without soldering, Tubogas has evolved from distinctive technique into a true emblem of Bvlgari’s innovative jewelry savoir-faire. A living icon that continues to innovate, while preserving its radical essence.
A high jewelry tribute to Gold & Steel
Bvlgari honors the Gold and Steel legacy also with three High Jewelry necklaces, creations of extraordinary uniqueness and unparalleled rarity. Crafted with the exclusive intent to celebrate the brand’s pioneering spirit, these jewels embody Bvlgari’s historical audacity in material experimentation, a tribute to the ‘art of daring’, forging the luxury of tomorrow.
An iconic vision of Gold & Steel in watchmaking
The Serpenti Tubogas Studs Capsule collection carries forward the Gold & Steel vision into watchmaking, presenting a sculptural timepiece: the legendary Serpenti silhouette embraces the flexible Tubogas bracelet, now enriched by the Stud motif inspired by Bvlgari’s jewelry codes. With this limited edition of 4 watches, the collection explores the expressive tension between gold and steel, enhancing the watch’s fluid architecture with precious details, diamonds stone dials and mother-of-pearl.
Through Gold & Steel, Bvlgari reaffirms its ongoing spirit of innovation, through a contemporary, timeless creative expression.
The new creations will be available from April 2026 on Bulgari.com and at selected Bvlgari boutiques worldwide.
