BVLGARI introduced this Serpenti Sapphire necklace in its 2023 “Mediterranea” High Jewelry collection. It continues to feature the iconic “Serpent” motif, with the highlight being nine large oval-cut sapphires from Sri Lanka set along the serpent’s body. The serpent’s head cleverly grasps a fringe of sapphire beads, its deep blue hue reminiscent of the azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

Crafted in platinum, the serpentine form coils elegantly around the neck. The serpent’s body and head are pavé-set with diamonds, creating a dazzling interplay of light. The most striking feature is the nine oval-cut sapphires, totaling 40.81 carats, all certified as Sri Lankan origin. Set sequentially from the head to the body, they resemble mysterious and enchanting scales. The serpent’s head showcases intricate detailing: from its subtly extended, coiled tongue hangs a fringe of 80 sapphire beads weighing 116.01 carats, conjuring the mesmerizing image of a serpent gliding through ocean depths. The piece exudes a mysterious and alluring aura. The diamond-setting craftsmanship is exceptionally complex, utilizing brilliant-cut diamonds of varying sizes to enhance the sapphires’ vivid color. The necklace required 1,400 hours of meticulous artistry to complete.
