In 2003, Enigma introduced and launched a fine jewellery collection and currently has international retail stores in Rome, Geneva and Porto Cervo. Enigma jewels are recognizable for their strong, individual designs inspired by Gianni Bulgari, its founder and owner. Gianni Bulgari is the former Chairman and CEO of the eponymous family business, which he left in 1987.

The jewelry designed during 1940 to 1950, also known as the ‘retro’ period, is recognizable by bold voluminous shapes and the heavy use of gold, in particular rose and yellow gold.

The post WWII economic boom, the desire to revive prewar prosperity, along with the popularity of Hollywood glamour, inspired the use of precious stones, particularly diamonds and rubies and the use of sizable, colorful gemstones, such as citrine, set in expressive shapes of pleated, woven and knotted gold. Dress clips enhanced a dress’ square neckline, sculptural brooches adorned menswear inspired blazers, and bold bracelets and oversized cocktail rings further enhanced otherwise somber day wear.

in a lack of consensus among reports as to whether any particular gemstone has been treated, the extent of treatment and whether treatment is permanent.

It is not feasible for Phillips de Pury & Company to obtain such reports for all gemstones offered at auction. Prospective buyers should, therefore, bear in mind that colored gemstones offered for sale without a gemological report or a specific statement in the catalogue entry may have been treated to enhance color, transparency or clarity. Enhancement of colored gemstones may affect market value, and our pre-sale estimates reflect the assumption that any colored gemstone not described in the catalogue entry as natural may have been treated. (b) Prospective buyers acknowledge that many lots are of an age and type which means that they are not in perfect condition. As a courtesy to clients, Phillips de Pury & Company may prepare and provide condition reports to assist prospective buyers when they are inspecting lots. Catalogue descriptions and condition reports may make reference to particular imperfections of a lot, but bidders should note that lots may have other faults not expressly referred to in the catalogue or condition report. All weights are approximate, whether or not qualified by the terms “stated to be” or “approximate.” Illustrations are for identification purposes only and cannot be used as precise indications of size or weight or to convey full information as to the actual condition of lots. (c) While Phillips de Pury & Company attempts to obtain accurate information on the country of origin of the gemstones offered for sale, we do not guarantee the accuracy of the catalogue or other description of such information.
