Serpenti Baroque High Jewellery platinum necklace with emeralds and diamonds, close-up.

Serpenti Baroque
Necklace

The serpent was treasured throughout the ancient world, from Egypt to Greece, as a symbol of protection. The Serpenti Baroque Necklace contemporizes the motif with an unexpected combination of precious stones, transforming this ancestral emblem–synonymous with Bulgari since the 1940s–into a new era of Serpenti.

1.

LIQUID EMERALDS

Eight emeralds with an imposing total weight of 109.82 carats form the dramatic heart of the necklace. The emeralds’ deliberately irregular baroque shape is characteristic of Mughal art and jewelry. Hand-selected in Zambia, their luminous quality and raw, vivid color can be described as “liquid,” almost watery in appearance.

2.

SINUOUS LIGHT

The artisan's skilful craftsmanship is demonstrated by their ability to bring balance to the design via lightness, managing a contrast of empty spaces and 74 carats of marquise diamonds. The diamonds' unique elongated shape and pointed ends create a dramatic effect, enhancing the overall feeling of sinuosity.

3.

LAYERED MOTION

Distinct balance is found in the unexpected contrast of a geometric, yet sinuous serpentine aesthetic focused on the protagonist emeralds. Bulgari’s inimitable craftsmanship is exemplified through the intricacy of its diamond setting with overlapping surfaces to create a continuous feeling of layered motion.
