About the Item

refined and highly collectible pair of vintage Bulgari “Monete” earrings, crafted in Italy between the late 1970s and early 1980s, exemplifying the Roman Maison’s deep-rooted fascination with classical antiquity and architectural form. Executed in 18-karat yellow and white gold, these elegant clip-on earrings are centered by authentic ancient bronze coins, preserved with their original natural patina. The coins are framed within Bulgari’s signature sculptural gold mountings, where the warm tone of yellow gold contrasts harmoniously with the cool accents of white gold, creating depth, balance, and visual sophistication. The Monete collection is among Bulgari’s most iconic and enduring designs, directly inspired by ancient Roman civilization and the city’s archaeological heritage. Rather than using gemstones alone, Bulgari elevates historic artifacts into wearable works of art, transforming each piece into a dialogue between past and present. The use of genuine ancient coins makes every example inherently unique, with subtle variations in tone, relief, and surface character. These earrings reflect the bold yet timeless aesthetic that defined Bulgari’s jewelry production during the late 20th century—substantial, architectural, and unmistakably Roman. Designed as clip-on earrings, they sit elegantly on the ear and offer a strong visual presence without sacrificing balance or wearability. Highly sought after by collectors worldwide, vintage Bulgari Monete jewels are prized for their historical references, sculptural goldwork, and unmistakable identity. This pair represents an exceptional example of the Maison’s ability to merge archaeology, luxury, and modern design into a single, enduring statement. A distinguished addition to any fine jewelry collection, these earrings appeal equally to Bulgari connoisseurs and lovers of historically inspired, museum-quality design.
