Gucci presents new Horsebit jewelry and watches, as part of the 70th anniversary celebrations of this iconic emblem. Bold designs feature classic Horsebit motifs intertwined with minimalist links to create striking geometric chains with seamlessly integrated closures.
First conceived by Aldo Gucci as a loafer embellishment in 1953, the Horsebit reflects the House’s historical links with the equestrian world. A stylized version in miniature of the double ring and bar metal clamp in a horse’s bridle, it has been a signature symbol for Gucci ever since. As a signifier of the community embodied by the House, it has been interpreted over seven decades in hardware and motifs across accessories, jewelry and ready-to-wear.
In this occasion, the House presents several new jewelry pieces, entirely crafted in yellow gold, including a ring, a necklace and two bracelets – one single row and one double row. The contemporary chain design alternates the classical Horsebit signature with a more minimalist pattern, creating a captivating contrast.
A necklace and two bracelets in single and three-row designs, with diamond baguettes and vivid green enamel embellishment, complete the collection. Two new watches also highlight the iconic Horsebit. One has a delicate double row chain with a multifaceted lozenge case; the other has a bolder, three-row chain. Both designs feature a yellow gold case, bracelet and a golden-colored brushed dial.

«Women, with their intuitive instinct, understood that I dreamed not only of making them more beautiful, but happier too.» – Christian Dior
Victoire de Castellane continues the story of DIOR‘s «Rose des vents» collection with a new celestial lucky charm, so-called «Rose Céleste». A twist of grains encircles the medallion, which turns to switch between the moon and sun sides.
On the front, a mother-of-pearl moon and three small white gold stars have been embedded with infinite care in an onyx disc in order to reveal all their brilliance.
On the reverse, a majestic yellow gold sun, with nine rays of different sizes, stands out from the mother-of-pearl background. Its almond-shaped eye and its smile were defined with a subtle level of refinement. The ornamental stones have been polished to give them a rounded surface, while the gold that encircles them has been shaped to form a rice-grain effect.
Taking its inspiration from Christian Dior‘s highly superstitious nature and his passion for astrology, the new must-have jewellery pieces are available as a medallion, bracelet or necklace, these talismans offer a new invitation to travel through the Dior’s rich heritage, by day and by night.
Bracelet DIOR Rose Céleste €1900
Necklace DIOR Rose Céleste €2000
Médaillon DIOR Rose Céleste €4500

My dear readers, I still owe you all those photos from the LuisaViaRoma Firenze4Ever 3rd Edition Total Styling Lab with all the fab pieces from the upcoming F/W 2011 season.
Here is my first look I called „Feather Girl“ because of those amazing shoes, aren’t they divine? It is always a great investment to get a pair of statement shoes as they will make every outfit something special. The Bayswater Mulberry bag has also a beautiful feather print on the leather.
If you don’t have a vest yet, I truly recommend getting one, preferably with some fur embellishments. It is a must this winter!
And last but not least the jumpsuit is definitely back! I know that it can be quite unpractical, you know what I mean… but nevertheless it is such a stylish piece of clothes that you should absolutely consider.
