The best Gucci jewelry collections
By: Nina Shahriman / November 27, 2021

Founded in 1921, the 97-year-old House of Gucci is the namesake Italian luxury brand with not just lasting strength, but also the world’s freshest high jewellery range. Creative director Alessandro Michele has reinterpreted old Animalia thrift shop items with sparkling stones and a combination of wildly beautiful features from across history, making them extravagant, desired, and sumptuous yet designed to be worn every day. In this article, we’ll discuss Gucci items that are the peak of Italian workmanship, with unrivalled quality and attention to detail.

Their jewellery displays Gucci’s rich legacy and design leadership, which have been successfully merged with a more contemporary vision under Frida Giannini’s creative supervision. The unique brand style known and adored across the world is defined by the merging of great Italian workmanship with bold and obvious aesthetics. On the fashion and accessory scene, their magnificent collections of female watches, silver and gold jewellery have become a model of class and elegance for quality and style.

The Gucci name is synonymous with fashion authority and exceptional workmanship, making it one of the most sought-after luxury brands in the world. The renowned Diamantissima watch line for ladies exemplifies the company’s objective to achieve a harmonious balance of form, design, and composition. The austere aesthetics of the clocks add to their polished charm, exhibiting their creative and technical mastery in threads, for example. To achieve perfect harmony between all parts that constitute a watch into a personalised status symbol, the company works closely with the greatest artisans, goldsmiths, and mechanical engineers.

1. Le Marche des Merveilles Collection

Alessandro Michele’s current collection is eclectic, contemporary, and romantic, with animal figures that, despite lavish craftsmanship, preserve a fanciful and fairytale-like air. The feline head remains a distinctive element of the House, with bees, hearts, and tigers rounding out the “Wonders of the Market” menagerie. Sapphires, rubies, topaz, diamonds, and pearls are embedded in ornate split rings, pendant necklaces, and bangle bracelets. All are equally at home adding drama to more formal ensembles or dressing up casually elegant clothes with lavish splashes of colour.

2. Flora Collection

The House presents a beautiful and feminine charm collection with exquisite gem-encrusted flowers and hand-painted enamel butterflies. The original Flora print, designed by Italian artist Vittorio Accornero and debuted on a silk scarf for Princess Grace of Monaco in the 1960s, is intertwined with Gucci symbols. Rubies, blue sapphires, and diamonds are combined with sterling silver and 18K white and rose gold to create fanciful yet aggressive designs.

3. Bamboo Collection

Gucci’s famous relationship with bamboo appears to have been predetermined rather than born out of need during the last phases of WWII when materials were scarce. Bamboo purses became immediate classics because they were highly useful, yet exquisite in look and graceful in design. The spirit of bamboo is preserved in sterling silver and 18K white, yellow, and rose gold rings, bracelets, earrings, and necklaces, with sparkling diamond accents on occasion.

4. Horsebit Collection

Since its founding, Gucci has included equestrian themes into its designs, but it was in 1953 that the horsebit became synonymous with the company. Its iconic significance has been memorialised in the permanent collection of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Horsebit fine jewellery line, which includes bracelets, drop earrings, pendants, and rings, is confident and sensuous, showcasing this pattern in 18K white, yellow, or rose gold and sterling silver.

5. Men’s Jewelry

A selection of men’s accessories in bold sterling silver and Aureco black subtly proclaim their macho sex appeal and sensitivity. Gucci’s signature Interlocking G’s grace sophisticated money clips, key rings, and cufflinks, while fun GucciGhost engravings adorn band rings and dog tag chain necklaces. The ornately crafted GucciGarden and Anger Forest collections, in particular, have splashes of colour; the former is filled with rich hues of jewels and transparent enamel, while the latter conveys animalistic domination via the heads of bulls, wolves, and eagles.

6. Ghost Collection

925 Sterling Silver Small GucciGhost Ring | GUCCI® US

Ex-Olympic snowboarder and artist Trevor “Trouble” Andrew invented #guccighost and ran with the notion after improvising a last-minute outfit from his beautiful Gucci bed linens. Alessandro Michele encouraged Trouble to cooperate by integrating his art with historical Gucci elements after being introduced to his work. The end product of this edgy endeavour is quixotically playful: graffiti-like pop art doodles meet high fashion, all in sterling silver and hand-painted enamel.

7. Interlocking G Collection

Gucci Interlocking G Adjustable Textured Necklace

Guccio Gucci’s son Aldo developed the most known and prized Italian fashion brand emblem in history after his father’s death in 1953. Guccio’s initials were first used as a clasp for purses from the studio on Via Delle Caldaie, inspired by his father’s successes and in appreciation of his heritage. The “Interlocking G” is a type of absolutely symmetrical lock.

The colours, which are shown in gold or black, stand for harmony, dominance, and the brand’s constant devotion to quality. Both traditional and transposed versions can be found in the House’s collections.

8. Blind For Love Collection

925 Sterling Silver Blind For Love Ring | GUCCI® US

Gucci motifs are carved in sterling silver and finished with Aureco black. The phrase “Blind For Love” is accompanied by a slew of symbols, including the eye, flowers, birds, interlocking G’s, and hearts. The phrase has become associated with Gucci, and it embodies the culture of modern love that Gucci incorporates into its creations. The funk of this seductive series of rings, cuff bracelets, pendant necklaces, earrings, and charms is built on a foundation of a cat, tiger head, ghost, skull, and interlocking G’s.
