As expressed in the comprehensive 1996 volume on the firm's work by Daniela Mascetti and Amanda Triossi, "Bulgari always strives to create the ideal weight in a jewel. In the case of Bulgari necklaces the wearers will always be pleasantly aware of these ornaments... 'They are weighted to fit on a woman's neck just exactly right... it is painstaking work,' says Nicola Bulgari. Their weight is never uncomfortable but generates pleasure: a pleasure in the awareness of the weight and substance of the precious materials forming the ornament."
