It is 70 years since Gucci first added a metallic detail to its loafers in the style of a horse’s bit; a clever piece of design and marketing that linked the fashion house to the exciting equestrian world.
The double ring and bar metal clamp of a horse’s bridle has been a signature for Gucci ever since across apparel, accessories and jewellery.
To mark the 70th anniversary of the embellishment, Gucci has introduced it to a broad jewellery and watch collection crafted entirely in yellow gold.
There are rings, bracelets and a necklace, all decorated with diamond baguettes and vivid green enamel.
Plus there are two jewellery watches, one on a double row chain with a multi-faceted lozenge case, the other on a bolder three-row chain.
