Lot Essay

Bulgari jewels of the 1960s are typified by their bold use of vibrant colour in conjunction with an extensive employment of stones cut en cabochon, specifically in principal positions and most innovatively using precious rather than semi-precious stones. Furthermore, as illustrated by this suite, during this period Bulgari returned again and again to a more compact rounded shield form, employed frequently in brooches, pendants and earrings often in combination with the bib necklace.
