During the 1960s, Italian jewelers developed a signature style using textured and braided gold, often referred to as the rope motif. This design language was embraced by important houses such as Buccellati and Bvlgari, who popularized bold, woven forms that highlighted Italy’s goldsmithing tradition. These earrings reflect that aesthetic, with finely ribbed petals spiraling around vivid ruby centers framed by brilliant diamonds — a luxurious expression of mid-century Italian glamour.
