Step into the rich history of the Roman Empire with these timeless Bulgari vintage cufflinks. Meticulously handcrafted in 18k yellow and white gold, the polished oval bezel frames with double bar wrap accents exude luxury.
Adorned with ancient, hand-carved Roman intaglios in fine red-green heliotrope, these cufflinks are a must-have for any connoisseur of fine craftsmanship and historical significance. One of the intaglios showcases a well-detailed depiction of Mercury, shown standing with a caduceus in his right hand and carrying a purse in his left. He is also wearing a winged hat (petasos). The second intaglio illustrates a finely carved scorpion, symbolizing the Roman Praetorian Guard, the esteemed personal bodyguards of the Roman Emperor. The back of the cufflinks have hinged lever backs and are signed "BVLGARI" and engraved "ROMA 2nd cent A.D." with a serial number.
