Gucci, the iconic Italian fashion house known for its rich heritage and unparalleled artistry, has unveiled its latest High Jewellery collection, "Labirinti Gucci." This mesmerising collection takes enthusiasts on a journey through flourishing Italian gardens featuring dragonflies, mazes, and G motifs in coloured gemstones where majestic mazes and enchanting labyrinths reveal a blooming vision of nature, meticulously framed in a refined sense of balance and symmetry.
This white gold necklace spotlights a 28.07-carat spinel, tourmaline rubellite beads and tsavorites, combining a floral bloom and subtle G motif on a linear chain and the 30.57-carat tourmaline rubellite on this white gold cuff bracelet features a special star-cut pavilion which radiates fuchsia, pink, and red.
Drawing inspiration from the timeless beauty of Italian-style gardens, or Giardini all'italiana, Labirinti Gucci celebrates an exuberant spirit of creativity, where instinct and passion merge with aesthetic clarity and refinement. The collection features an astonishing 140 one-of-a-kind masterpieces, each a testament to Gucci's unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. The collection is centred around three themes: symmetry and ordered beauty, geometric splendour, and blooming nature. It draws inspiration from the lush, verdant beauty of Italian gardens. This collection also represents a new era for Gucci's high jewellery, with a more design-focused edge and a curated selection of coloured gemstones.
Themes and Inspirations
At the heart of Labirinti Gucci are three captivating themes: symmetry and ordered beauty, geometric splendour, and blooming nature. These themes come to life through the most exquisite and extraordinary coloured gemstones, carefully selected to evoke the essence of an Italian garden.
Symmetry and Ordered Beauty
The collection's homage to symmetry and ordered beauty is exemplified by a statement cuff featuring a 5.93-carat Colombian emerald. Its intense green hue and hallmark "Jardin" inclusions are enhanced by five fancy diamonds, creating a striking balance of colour and form. Another highlight is a necklace centred around a breathtaking 56.37-carat oval-cut green tourmaline, surrounded by a sprinkling of 11 additional tourmalines in complementary hues, further embracing the harmonious symmetries that define the collection.
A homage to harmony, colour, and shape, this white gold ring outlines a labyrinthine pattern, centered around a 9.9-carat tanzanite in a play on the blue-green palette with aquamarine and paraibas.
Geometric Splendor
Geometric splendour, another cornerstone of Labirinti Gucci, is showcased in a series of sumptuous necklaces. One standout piece colour matches a 53.25-carat lagoon tourmaline with a mesmerizing 19.68-carat Ethiopian opal, framed by brilliant mandarin garnets and opals in a strong, linear, diamond-set design. The purity of lines and gemstones is also celebrated in a necklace featuring an ultra-rare 20.45-carat Paraiba tourmaline, suspended from a white gold diamond pave chain that recalls the House's iconic G motif.
Blooming Nature
As we venture deeper into the labyrinth of love and adventure, Labirinti Gucci welcomes a new motif from the animal world: the dragonfly. This graceful creature, symbolizing harmony, peace, and balance, finds expression in a series of bejewelled brooches and mismatched earrings, sparkling with luminous colours such as Tanzanites, Paraiba tourmalines, emeralds, and Spinels. The collection's eye-catching necklaces capture nature in full bloom. One masterpiece is suspended with a 113.35-carat green tourmaline, free of inclusions and glowing with splendid vivacity. Another flower necklace, set with 60.89-carat tanzanite in a deep and pure blue colour, sets off a chain of gemstones in a magnificent construction of floral artistry.
