This vintage Bvlgari 18k gold lapis lazuli sphere pendant necklace reflects the bold sculptural style associated with the house during the late 20th century. The pendant is designed as an openwork gold sphere featuring a repeating pattern of geometric cutouts including triangles and diamond shaped apertures that allow light to pass through. Above the sphere sits a polished lapis lazuli ring accent that introduces a strong contrast of deep blue against the warm tone of the gold. The pendant is completed with a sculpted bail that connects to the chain through a small gold ring, allowing the pendant to move freely when worn.
The pendant measures 1 1/2 inches in length and 5/8 inch in width and weighs 9.4 grams. It is stamped Bvlgari, Made in Italy, 750, and maker's mark, confirming 18k gold Italian manufacture. The necklace is paired with a 20 inch Bvlgari chain weighing 3.2 grams, stamped Bvlgari, Italy, kt18. The total necklace weight is 12.6 grams. This vintage Bvlgari gold pendant necklace combines architectural goldwork with lapis lazuli, a stone frequently used by the brand.
