Its rectangular silhouette, softened by gently rounded corners, is traversed by broad, angular bands of gold that divide the surface into a series of geometric forms. Beneath these polished divisions, the mother-of-pearl reveals subtle variations of ivory, silver, and pale rose, its delicate reflections changing with the movement of the jewel. A substantial gold bail completes the composition, providing a balanced transition between the pendant and its suspension.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe design reflects Bulgari’s confident exploration of geometry, proportion, and contrasting materials during the late twentieth century. Rather than employing mother-of-pearl as a conventional decorative accent, the composition gives its iridescent surface a central role, allowing the gold framework to define and emphasize its natural variations. The strong diagonal elements introduce movement within the otherwise orderly rectangular silhouette, creating a distinctive balance between structure and ornament.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWeighing 20.3 grams, the pendant possesses a satisfying material presence, its polished gold surfaces providing a striking counterpoint to the delicate character of the nacre.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eWithin the permanence of gold, mother-of-pearl holds a changing light, never quite revealing the same surface twice.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bulgari\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1980s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K Yellow Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStones \u0026amp; Materials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mother-of-Pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rectangular pendant with geometric gold openwork over mother-of-pearl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20.3 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent vintage condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bvlgari","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67838269391121,"sku":"PE65290","price":18500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/9008\/5393\/files\/IMG_0903_Product_Beautifier_4328841.jpg?v=1792596530","url":"https:\/\/www.odeoncollection.com\/products\/bulgari-mother-of-pearl-pendant-in-18k-yellow-gold-1980s","provider":"Odeon Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
