Gucci unveils an exclusive selection of new pieces to its Hortus Deliciarum High Jewelry collection during Paris Haute Couture at the House’s Place Vendôme boutique. Hortus Deliciarum — meaning ‘Garden of Delights’ in Latin — blends Gucci’s rich heritage in Italian craftsmanship and its ever-distinctive creativity in one-of-a-kind masterpieces.
The new additions to the Hortus Deliciarum collection include designs that explore tantalizing facets of the natural and animal kingdom, placing jewelry artistry center stage. Flawless, fancy cut vivid gemstones, from aquamarines to yellow sapphires, add vibrant touches to these dynamic designs.
These include a brilliant multi-finger ring – the result of 100 hours of meticulous production – crafted in yellow gold with a beautiful 38.8 carat green tourmaline centerpiece surrounded by diamonds. A magnificent yellow gold bracelet showcases a diamond-embellished chevron pattern and an oval-shaped 16 carat rubellite tourmaline – this creation taking over 200 hours to produce.
Other stunning pieces are distinguished by cascades of dancing diamonds, involving 300 hours of production, the necklace features diamond-embellished starbursts trimmed with lady-like diamond bows, while the earrings reveal diamond- encrusted bows and chandelier-like crystal droplets around two teardrop cut diamonds with a total of 16.7 carats.
