Muse of Rome

EMERALD ETERNITY
To find an emerald as eternal as Rome was a challenge requiring patience and savoir-faire, as well as a willingness to travel. Discovered in Colombia, the stone is exceptional for its mesmerizing nuance, depth of color, and imposing weight of 218.53 carats.
Just as “all roads lead to Rome,” every detail of the necklace’s sophisticated design draws the eye towards the extraordinary central gem. When worn, this perfect precious stone conveys Rome’s innately passionate and timeless beauty enriched with the vibrant, contemporary elegance of Bulgari.
To set the central sugarloaf emerald, we use an exceptionally complex and highly unusual approach requiring 2,300 hours of production. In order to accomplish the task, two artisans were selected, in place of the usual one, to shape the piece from beginning to end. The masters were chosen for their complementary personalities, with technical skills and expert eyes that supported each other in perfect harmony.
