Rare VTG BVLGARI b.zero Bulgari 18kt Yellow Gold Link Cable Chain Necklace

Vintage from 1999 to early 2000s original b.Zero design Mens/Unisex yellow gold chain (51 cm/ approx. 20 in) Bvlgari 18ct Yellow Gold Adjustable Catene/Chain Necklace with B.Zero1 Pendant Approx. 24-25g The necklace you are describing is a true collector's favorite. In 1999 or the early 2000s, Bvlgari released the B.zero1 pendant on a ball chain (bead chain) specifically marketed toward men (though it became a unisex staple). Style Name: B.zero1 "Element" Pendant on a Ball Chain. Reference Number: While the spiral pendant itself has many variations, the early 2000s yellow gold version with the ball chain is often referred to under the family of Ref. 352814 (standard 18K yellow gold) or Ref. 352815. Design: It features the signature 18K gold "tubogas" spiral with the BVLGARI BVLGARI logo engraved on both side rims. The ball chain is distinctive because it uses a lobster clasp but is made of solid 18K gold "balls" rather than traditional links. The Technique: Bvlgari uses their signature "Tubogas" (gas-pipe) method to create those flexible, interlocking metal bands that form the cylinder. So, if you are searching for the style of the center spiral, "Tubogas" is the technical term. Originally my boss purchased this in Okayama, Japan and gifted to me. Luxurious gold chain necklace by Bulgari. Perfect for elevating any look. Thank you for looking the collector's item.
