Monete or Pretty Woman
Bulgari · FRED
Monete
Ancient Greek and Roman coins, worn and unpolished, set whole in heavy gold frames and hung from chains.
Pretty Woman
A heart within a heart, traced in pink or white gold and lit with diamonds, in memory of the necklace FRED lent a film.
Monete's provenance is literal: each piece frames an ancient Greek or Roman coin, unpolished, a tradition Nicola Bulgari revived in the 1960s from the way Romans themselves wore coins in gold. Pretty Woman's is borrowed from the screen. In 1990 FRED lent a ruby and diamond necklace from its Rodeo Drive boutique to the film, and the house later named a line of double heart outlines after it, from single diamond studs to rubellite necklaces. Weight and patina in Rome; light, rose gold and romance at FRED.
