Among the most iconic Bulgari designs, Monete jewels have been in vogue since they were first launched in 1966. Each coin jewel is a work of art in and of itself and this particular example, which was purchased as an 18th birthday gift for the consignor from her parents in 1975, is an incredibly wearable Bulgari jewel that is both instantly recognizable and timeless in design.
