Bulgari 18K Gold Earrings with Unheated Ceylon Sapphires and Onyx

These exceptional vintage Bulgari earrings showcase the Roman maison’s mastery of bold design and uncompromising gemstone quality. Crafted in 18K yellow gold, each earring features a magnificent unheated Ceylon sapphire weighing approximately 12 carats. The stones display superb vivid blue color and clarity, beautifully contrasted by smooth black onyx cabochons.

Dating from the 1980s-1990s, these earrings embody Bulgari’s iconic design language where architectural forms meet timeless Roman elegance. The harmonious interplay of sapphire brilliance, onyx depth, and golden warmth creates a striking visual composition that commands attention with sophisticated restraint.

The unheated status of these Ceylon sapphires is exceptionally rare, particularly in stones of this substantial size. Unheated sapphires retain their pure natural color without thermal enhancement, making them significantly more valuable and highly sought by collectors. This pair represents a coveted acquisition from the golden era of Bulgari’s creative excellence—wearable art of museum-quality caliber.
