🌟🌟 Bulgari Love🌟🌟 . I had been meaning to share this suite of jewels since late last year but other things kept taking away my attention. Not today, though! . The Allegra cultured pearl and gem-set demi-parure is a marvel of colour and craftsmanship. A double strand necklace of rectangular, diamond-set links, separated by white, round cultured pearls and accented by variously shaped tourmalines, aquamarines, citrines, peridot and amethysts. The colours of the gems range from deep and rich to delightfully pastel and bring out the lustre of the pearls beautifully . Bulgari's Allegra ( which means happy or joyful in Italian) pieces are loved for their euphoric splashes of colour and the way the different cuts and shapes of the coloured gemstones fit together to create a gemmy mosaic. Add cultured pearls to this heady mix and you have something extraordinary @bvlgari . This jewellery lot came up for auction in October 2024 at Sotheby's Fine Jewels & Watches Sale in Milan. Presale Estimate was €10,000 - €15,000 @sothebysjewels . On a completely different note, can you believe it that 2024 is now 'last year' when just 8 days ago it was still this year!? I always have difficulty processing last year/this year dates in early January. How about you? . #bulgari #vintagebulgari #Allegra #culturedpearls #diamondsandpearls #colouredgems #necklace #earrings #finejewelry #finejewellery #luxury #thecultureofpearls #stylegram #sothebysjewels

I just can't get over the beauty of these two pearl and diamond rings by @seangilsondesigns I saw at @assaelpearls earlier this year at the Couture Show @by_couture . In both rings, the interplay of lustre and sparkle is mind-blowing ✨️ while one is has a white colour palette, which is timeless and elegant, the other ring with a mix of pearl colours is equally sublime ♥️ . Swipe to see both rings. Observe the lustre of pearls in both rings, how sharp and bright 🌟 . So grateful for all the wonderful memories made this year. Wishing everyone a happy and prosperous New Year filled with joy and love 🎊🌹❤️🎊 . @duvallosteennyc . . . #pearls #culturedpearls #diamondsandpearls #assael #diamonds #thisiscouture #rings #highjewellery #luxury #luxuryjewellery #highjewelry #hautejoaillerie #LasVegas #memories #jewellerylove #thecultureofpearls
