BLAR 18 karat Yellow old Sapphire Diamond Necklace
A spectacular Bulgari 18k gold necklace, featuring Sri Lanka sapphires and diamonds and created circa late 1970s to early 1980s. We have a Certificate of Authenticity (see picture 6).
The necklace is set with seven emerald-cut sapphires of Sri Lankan origin, natural with no heat treatment, weighing total of 39.77 carats. Each sapphire weight ranges from 7.64 to 4.23 carats and is individually engraved on the reverse of the setting. The sapphires come with a RS Lab emstone Report confirming their origin and treatment status. The sapphire carat weight was calculated by formula as 41.60 carats total. The sapphires are spaced across the front of the necklace and set in heavy gold bezels flanked by vertical rows of baguette-cut diamonds.
Between the sapphire sections, the gold links alternate with curved, pave-set diamond segments and twisted gold rope motifs, forming a continuous, articulated collar.
