    “For me, calling at Bulgari shop is like visiting the best exhibition of contemporary art,” Andy Warhol once proclaimed, fascinated by the rich colours, shape and texture of jewellery whenever he visited Bulgari in Rome. Coloured gemstone is one of the most recognizable traits of Bulgari jewels, particularly the use of sapphires throughout the eras. Since the 1920s, numerous fine sapphire specimens have been mounted as centre-stones for rings or set as necklaces and earrings. Simply mounted and flanked by two diamonds that add sparkle to this 12-carat gem-quality Burmese sapphire of rich and intense colour, the present lot embodies the essence of the brand.
