Condition Notes: Primarily marked "Marina B." with serial number C2037, the piece also bears an Italian maker’s mark < *26 AL > attributed to Carlo Illario & Fratelli S.r.l. di Vittorio Illario, Italy. Each Akoya pearl varies slightly in size, though they are largely calibrated between 9.00 mm and 9.50 mm.
Marina B.: The B stands for Bvlgari. Rather than ride on family fame, the third generation designer distanced herself from the day to day operations of Bvlgari to create her own business. She is recognized for her fanciful use of color, blended with modern style and innovation. Voluminous, bold and colorful designs are her trademark. Has her own signature gemstone cut, referred to as the “Marina B cut”, falling halfway between a heart and a triangle.
