About the Item

Imperium Reimagined A Roman emperor, reinterpreted through the bold lens of 1970s Italian design. This sculptural ring, inspired by Bulgari’s iconic Monete collection, sets an authentic Roman bronze coin of Flavius Gratianus within a striking fluted mount of 18k yellow gold. Diamond accents at the cardinal points lend brilliance to the darkened patina of the ancient coin, drawing light to the profile of the boy-emperor. Made in Italy circa 1970, it echoes Bulgari’s reverence for antiquity, filtered through a resolutely modern sensibility. Gratian, declared Augustus at just seven years old, would go on to govern both Western and Eastern empires before his assassination in 383 AD. The coin—weathered by time, sovereign in spirit—honors his brief yet storied reign. Inspired by: Monete collection by Bulgari Period: 1970s Metal: 18k yellow gold Stone(s): Ancient Roman bronze coin, diamond accents Coin: Flavius Gratianus, Roman Emperor (A.D. 367–383) Weight: 16.5 grams Ring size: 8 (resizable) Origin: Made in Italy Condition: Excellent Documentation: Accompanied by original papers A talisman of empire, carved in gold and memory.

Fred Paris 1980s Ruby and Diamond Necklace and Earrings Suite in 18k Gold
By Fred Paris
Located in New York, NY
Whispers of Montaigne As if lit from within by a Parisian dusk. A study in restraint and opulence, this signed Fred Paris suite from the 1980s captures the magnetic elegance of the maison’s golden era. Composed of a substantial 18k yellow gold curb-link necklace and matching earrings, each piece centers on a richly-hued cabochon ruby—deep, domed, and luminous—encircled by a halo of brilliant-cut diamonds. The stones, totaling 11 carats of ruby and 0.8 carats of diamond, seem to hover in gold like secrets too beautiful to speak aloud. The necklace rests with the quiet confidence of architecture; the earrings, soft but sculptural, frame the face with a painter’s understanding of light. Maker: Fred Paris Period: Circa 1980s Metal: 18k yellow gold Stones & Carat Weight: Approx. 11 carats total rubies (8ct necklace, 3ct earrings); 0.8 carats total diamonds (0.4ct necklace, 0.4ct earrings) Dimensions: Necklace with central ruby medallion...
