A pair of solid eighteen carat gold diamond and sapphire clip earrings. This breathtaking and exceptional pair of earrings were made by the Italian powerhouse, Bulgari. The stylish clips, made in solid eighteen carat yellow feature a top hoop design and a bottom drop hanging from each.. Each earring  is set with a Ceylon no heat sapphire cabochon approximately 4ctw. and  70 round brilliant cut diamonds approx 2.90ctw D-E VVS-VS. They are signed Bulgari with Italian hallmarks, and French import marks., fitted with secure clip backs, and have an easy, generous presence on the lobe at an inch and a quarter in length.

Bulgari has always had a way of making earrings feel architectural rather than simply decorative. Founded in Rome in 1884 by Greek silversmith Sotirio Boulgaris, the house grew from silverwork and curiosities into one of the defining jewellery names of the 20th century, with its Via dei Condotti flagship opening in 1905. By the mid-century years, BVLGARI’s identity was clear: bold colour, sculptural volume, and a Roman point of view that favoured cabochon stones and confident proportion. 

For collectors, the conversation is less about “best” and more about signatures you can recognise across a room. One lane is the Naturalia era, launched in 1991, where playful motifs and high colour did not apologise for themselves. The Mamma Pesce fish designs sit here, gemstone and diamond compositions that now surface almost exclusively on the secondary market after the line was discontinued in the late 1990s. These pieces reward close observation: the charm is obvious, but the workmanship is what separates the great from the merely 'good'. 

Another lane is vintage Bulgari from the 1970s onward, when the house leaned into non-traditional materials and fearless contrast, including ceramic, enamel, and turquoise. Think strong geometry, chandelier silhouettes, and the kind of colour blocking that feels remarkably current when it is done well. Condition matters enormously here, as does originality, because these materials show their life differently than diamond-only pieces. 

Finally, there are the statement categories: the 1980s Parentesi language, inspired by Roman pavement motifs and built around modular, interlocking forms, and the true High Jewellery earrings BVLGARI has produced since the 1950s. Parentesi is wearable architecture, a design that reads as “BVLGARI” without needing a logo. High Jewellery is where the brand’s Rome meets its gem access, with exceptional diamonds and saturated colour that can shift from elegant to unapologetic depending on scale and cut. Provenance can elevate these pieces from desirable to important, and it is often the detail that turns a great pair into a keeper. 

These earrings sit firmly in the lane of the marque's finest work. Beautifully made, easy to wear, dramatic without being impractical and comfortable for an occasion desired. The quality is exactly what this house built its name on, and a look that is both timeless and elegant.

They are fully marked on each clip and feature three bold hallmarks on each clip back. Both for "750" for eighteen carat gold and the Bulgari house's maker mark and Italian registration marks. They are in superb condition and ready to be enjoyed.

Made in Italy, circa 1990's. They ship in a Bulgari earring box.
