Translucent Stones
The second category of gemstones is “fine stones”, previously referred to as “semi-precious stones”, which were once regarded as being of lesser value. While this depreciation no longer reflects the current gemstone market, Bvlgari was among the first to introduce many other stones into its creations, not considering the intrinsic value of the stone, but rather its chromatic properties and artistic effects. A wide variety of translucent gems, such as citrines, amethysts, and tourmalines, have been set on the Maison's jewelry.
