Opera or Divas' Dream
Buccellati · Bulgari
Opera
The Buccellati emblem, a four-petalled rosette of winding lines, cut out and worn as the jewel itself: in engraved gold, in diamond pavé, or laid over a pierced tulle lattice.
Divas' Dream
A fan, taken from the ginkgo-leaf pattern in the floor mosaics of Rome's Baths of Caracalla, worn as a pendant, an earring or a ring.
Rome and Milan each found a motif in their own past. Bulgari's Divas' Dream, introduced in 2016, takes its fan from the ginkgo pattern in the mosaics of Rome's Baths of Caracalla; Buccellati's Opera, shown in Paris the year before, cuts out the house emblem, a rosette of winding lines akin to Renaissance and Baroque ornament. The Roman fan is often inlaid with malachite or mother-of-pearl. The Milanese rosette tends to be engraved by hand or laid over pierced tulle.
