Property of a Prominent Oklahoma Family

Bulgari | Gold and Diamond Necklace


Featuring three detachable clip-brooches of floral design, accented by round diamonds, on a rectangular brick link necklace, total gross weight approximately 69 dwts, length 18 inches, signed Bulgari; circa 1950.

For clips of similar design, see The Art of Bulgari, La Dolce Vita and Beyond, 1950-1990, by Martin Chapman and Amanda Triossi, page 46.
This Bulgari necklace, featuring stylized snowflakes, comes from a prominent Oklahoma family with roots stretching back to the state’s very founding in the late 19th century. Endowed with great entrepreneurial spirit, they worked together to build a successful business, becoming an integral part of Oklahoma’s rich history in the oil industry. This success has been matched by a steadfast commitment to philanthropy that has always been at the heart of their family values. With particular emphasis placed on giving back to the community, they have endeavored to instill a sense of purpose and hometown pride to ensure a strong Oklahoma for future generations.
