20 Years Of A Gucci Fine Jewellery Icon

The Heritage
The House of Gucci has long taken inspiration from the elegant equestrian world, with the now-iconic Horsebit emblem first sketched in a Gucci artisan’s notebook at the end of the 1940s. The motif went on to adorn its handbags, belts, small leather goods and its beloved Horsebit loafer in 1953, and has become one of the House’s most beloved and recognisable symbols.
Later, in the 1970s, the emblem appeared on the House’s bracelets and watches, before the Horsebit fine jewellery line was first introduced in 2004. Today, in honour of its 20th anniversary, Gucci has reimagined the Horsebit motif, and reintroduced it in a covetable new fine jewellery collection.

A Modern Icon
The Horsebit symbol has been reinvented with a fresh, contemporary aesthetic in Gucci’s new fine jewellery collection, which seamlessly blends the heritage of the emblem with contemporary trends. The gold pieces include a lariat necklace with clasp closure and two pendants; a chunkier necklace with a large Horsebit pendant, ideal for more statement looks; a cuff bracelet featuring a flex mechanism; two elegant bracelets made by a sequence of Horsebit in a row as a chain; and studs and pendant earrings. The more delicate rose gold and diamond pieces include two intricate rings; a chain; two bracelets; and diamond-studded studs and pendant earrings, all featuring the iconic double-ring-and-bar emblem.
Encompassing a wide array of different styles, the collection offers something for all tastes: both bold and more delicate, subtle pieces. The rings, meanwhile, come in both single and double-banded variations, allowing for personalisation and layering. You can take a closer look at some of the pieces below.
A New Chapter
For the new Horsebit fine jewellery collection, The House worked alongside photographers Deo Suveera and Pamela Dimitrov to create an accompanying campaign designed to encapsulate the deep connection between Gucci and the equestrian world, while also illustrating the timeless elegance of the iconic Horsebit motif.Â
As Gucci continues to evolve, the Horsebit collection honours its illustrious history and enduring legacy while also looking forwards to an equally exciting future.
