I love the work of Ermani Bulatti – of whom not a lot is known. He was a Dutch designer whose best work was done around the 1980s. The jewellery was very high quality and sold in the top boutiques. He specialised in coating brass with various finishes such as bronze and silver plate. The major influences were Art Deco and Italian. The most up to date info on Bulatti is on the Vintage-Jewels.nl/Designers site. They say that the firm started in 1984 – being founded by Herman Tiggeler – and closed in 2012. I believe there is currently a company called Bulatti BV. If you put his name into Google and click on Photos you will get a good idea why I love his work – although it might not be everybody’s taste!
