Pair of colored stone and diamond earclips, Bulgari, circa 1965

Set in the center with 2 cushion-shaped rubellites weighing approximately 17.50 carats, within a star motif and border of hexagonal outline, set with 128 round diamonds weighing approximately 6.00 carats and accented with calibré-cut turquoise and onyx, mounted in 18 karat gold, signed Bulgari. 

The rubellites are a vibrant medium purplish pink (more purplish than indicated by catalogue illustration) and are slightly included. Diamonds are approximately F-G color and VVS-VS clarity. Both earclips are signed Bulgari. The posts are attached to the earclip mechanisms, as opposed to being attached to the reverse of the earring, which makes a more cumbersome insertion, but a nicer "hang" to the earclips. In good condition overall.
