The Horsebit first gained true prominence in 1953 when it adorned Gucci’s classic loafer, recalling the horse-riding world of the aristocracy and high society in Florence. It has since evolved into bold hardware on handbags and shoes, prints on canvas handbags and silks, watches and most recently, Gucci Fine Jewelry. It is now a symbol of Gucci’s glamour. Reworked by Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini in a contemporary style, the Horsebit takes on softly sensual shapes, to become a covetable and wearable jewelry line. The Gucci Horsebit bracelet in 18 karat yellow gold won the Vogue Spagna award for jewelry (Vogue Joyas) in the category The Designer and its Jewels. The bracelet was one of Frida Giannini’s first creations, and the Horsebit motif was later developed into a complete collection, including rings, colorful cocktail rings and sets of necklaces with matching earrings. This latest collection explores the equestrian symbol in new innovative forms for necklaces and earrings. Unexpected combination of colors, through the use of classic and novel materials such as black onyx, black diamonds on black synthetic corundum secured by 18kt pink gold Horsebit links, or white diamonds next to rock crystal on 18kt white gold, all offer glamorous reinterpretations of the Horsebit icon. Gucci Jewellery is available at Azal located in Emirates Towers Boulevard, Dubai.
