Bvlgari Vintage Bulgari Monete Necklace 18k Gold & Roman Coin

A vintage Bulgari Monete necklace, crafted in 18k yellow gold and set with an authentic Roman coin from the reign of Gordian III. The centerpiece features a silver Antoninianus minted during the 3rd century AD, displaying the portrait and inscriptions associated with the emperor. The historic coin is framed in a smooth 18k gold bezel.

The necklace is designed with a substantial gold curb link chain. The coin pendant sits at the center, creating a recognizable style associated with the famous Monete collection.

Bulgari introduced the Monete line in the 1960s, incorporating genuine ancient coins into modern gold jewelry. These designs connect classical history with modern Italian jewelry design. Each coin carries natural wear and patina from circulation in the Roman Empire, making every example slightly unique.

This vintage Monete necklace is a notable example of the brand’s coin jewelry.

The necklace measures 15 ½” x 1/4” (widest part) and weighs 67 grams.

The coin is 7/8" in diameter.
