Bvlgari Bvgalri Serpenti Scarf Ring

Q: Is this a finger ring or a scarf ring?
A: This is a scarf ring, designed to hold and style a scarf rather than to be worn as a conventional finger ring. The Serpenti snakehead motif gives it a jewellery-like appearance, but its function is to secure a scarf elegantly.

Q: How do I use a scarf ring?
A: Fold or roll your scarf, thread one or both ends through the ring, then slide it into place and adjust the drape. It creates a neat, polished finish without the bulk of a traditional knot.

Q: What type of scarf works best with this piece?
A: Lightweight to medium-weight scarves usually work best, especially silk twillies, bandeaux, or neatly folded square scarves. Because this scarf ring is compact, very thick winter scarves may be too bulky to pass through comfortably.

Q: Can it be styled in more than one way?
A: Yes. Scarf rings are often used for classic centre-front styling, side wraps, and softer draped looks, depending on the scarf’s size and fabric. They are popular because they make silk scarves feel easier and more versatile to wear.

Q: What are the exact measurements of this item?
A: The scarf ring measures approximately 3.5 cm in height and 2.5 cm in width. If you are checking whether a particular scarf will work, compare these dimensions with the thickness of the scarf once it is folded or rolled.

Q: What materials and details does it feature?
A: This vintage piece is made in gold-tone metal and features the iconic Serpenti snakehead motif with black enamel eyes. It also has an engraved logo on the back.

Q: What does the Serpenti motif represent?
A: Within Bvlgari’s Serpenti universe, the snake motif is associated with wisdom, vitality, transformation, and allure. It is one of the house’s most recognisable and enduring emblems.

Q: What condition is this item in, and what is included?
A: It is listed in very good vintage condition with slight signs of use. The hardware is shiny with light scratches, and according to the product information, no accessories are included.

Q: How should I care for a vintage metal scarf ring with enamel details?
A: Wipe it gently with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth after use, and store it separately to help prevent scratches. Avoid perfume, alcohol-based products, abrasive cleaners, prolonged moisture, and contact with harder jewellery, as these can affect the finish and enamel over time.
