Bulgari dedicata a venezia Giudecca ring - opinions

P: 7/14/2009 2:28:09 PM
Nick79 Rough Rock Total Posts: 10 Last Post: 7/28/2009 Member Since: 7/14/2009	Hello, I just purchased a Bulgari engagement ring, it's part of the "dedicata a venezia" collection, model name is "Giudecca". It's 0.73cts, F-VS1. I really loved the pave setting and the side-stones, I found it original yet still classic. Any thoughts?

I personally don't like it that much, but it is really matter of taste only, i don't say it is ugly. i prefer the torcello (that i bought) or the 1503 setting, and yes, it is classic and original at the same time, but i don't know.... how old is your wife/girlfriend ? maybe i'm completely wrong, but i do see this ring on a 50+ lady.

Oh, the one on the far right is my favourite pick from that group. I sincerely think its gorgeous and is pretty enough to be young and cute, and sophisticated enough to be for mature audiences! I think it is a really gorgeous design because its pretty simple with not much metal showing and delicate at the same time. Dont forget to give us hand shots when its been bought!

However, I am almost 50..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

I actually already bought it! :-) I like the Torcello as well but I know she wanted a Pave' setting so I ended up picking the Giudecca. I was undecided between that and the 1503 but the thicker band and the little side stones on the corners prevailed in the end!

Honestly, that was my concern as well, but if you see the real thing as opposed to the pic on the website, it has a much younger feel to it. BTW she's in her very early 30's but has pretty classic taste.

rickdeckard Rough Rock Total Posts: 44 Last Post: 9/17/2009 Member Since: 7/6/2009	well, i can imagine and relate to what you just post, the torcello pic on the bulgari website looked way different then the ring i saw in the store, maybe it's the way the bulgari pics are taken.... Of course since we have only the website pic to get the idea it is difficult to have an opinion on the "real look" of the ring... btw : congratulations on your engagement !

But I do think it's a nice mix of classic, elegant, and vintage, and it sounds like you did a great job matching the ring to your gf' preferences/style. Can I just say I think it's great that the store treated you well (very smart on their part!) and I also think it's great to see two young men posting on this forum about shopping at Bvlgari. When my husband was in his 20s and early 30s, he never would have even thought to shop at Bvlgari, much less had the guts to actually walk in the store! Your gf's are lucky ladies. SaraPJ

Yeah walking into those types of stores can be a bit intimidating at first but the staff was so corteous and professional, they made it a wonderful purchasing experience! Glad you like the ring, I had to wait months before it came in. (they only allocate a few for the US market). Once I saw it though I wouldn't settle for anything else!
