Gucci Jewelry
Founded in 1921, a 97 years young House of Gucci is the eponymous Italian luxury brand with not only staying power, but the freshest high jewellery line of the world’s fashion houses. Extravagant, desirable and opulent while made to be worn every day, creative director Alessandro Michele has reimagined vintage animalia thrift store finds with glittering gems and a mashup of wildly stylish details from throughout history. The pinnacle of Italian craftsmanship, Gucci products are unsurpassed in quality and attention to detail. You’ll find the latest collections alongside redefined classic House statement pieces, here at James Free.
"When you see the way I combine things with each other, you perceive everything together as a new language… I work with symbols to mix the past with the present, not the future. My job is creativity and my work is a modern translation of the decorative and ornamental... Clothes, like jewelry, don’t have very revolutionary roots, meaning that what’s revolutionary is the way you wear a piece of jewelry." -Alessandro Michele

Gucci Jewelry Collections
Icon Collection
ICONnoun: a person or thing regarded as a representative symbol or as worthy of veneration.
Warm and elegant, these iconic pieces bear the instantly recognizable symbol of the storied House of Gucci since 1964. Need we say more?
Flora Collection
The House introduces a feminine and romantic collection of charms featuring delicate, gem encrusted flowers and hand-painted enamel butterflies. These elements of the original Flora print -conceived by Italian artist Vittorio Accornero and presented on a silk scarf for Princess Grace of Monaco in the 60s- intertwine with symbolic Gucci motifs. Rubies, blue sapphires, and diamonds join with sterling silver, and 18K white and rose gold to form pieces that are, at once, whimsical yet assertive.
Ghost Collection
Improvising a last minute costume from his fine Gucci bed sheets, ex-Olympic snowboarder and artist Trevor “Trouble” Andrew created #guccighost and ran with the concept. Following an introduction to Trouble’s work, Alessandro Michele invited him to collaborate by incorporating his art with classic Gucci motifs. The result of this street-wise project is playfully quixotic - graffiti-like pop art doodles meet high fashion, all realized in sterling silver and hand-painted enamel.
Bamboo Collection
Born of necessity during the material scarce final stages of WWII, Gucci’s storied relationship with bamboo instead seems predestined. Highly functional, yet elegant in appearance and graceful in form, the bamboo handbags became instant classics. Bamboo’s essence is captured in sterling silver and 18K white, yellow and rose gold rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces; sometimes complemented by brilliant diamond accents.
Horsebit Collection
Equestrian elements abound in Gucci products since inception, but 1953 marks the year the horsebit became emblematic of the brand. It’s iconic status has even been immortalized in the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art’s permanent collection. Confident and sensual, the Horsebit fine jewellery collection presents this motif in 18K white, yellow or rose gold and sterling silver, featuring bracelets, drop earrings, pendants, and rings.
Blind For Love Collection
Sterling silver features engraved Gucci motifs finished with Aureco black. You’ll find a bevy of symbols, including the eye, flowers, birds, interlocking G’s and hearts, combined with the phrase "Blind For Love." Now synonymous with the House, the notion reflects the culture of modern love Gucci weaves into collections. A cat, tiger head, ghost, skull and interlocking G’s provide a foundation for the funk of this beguiling line of rings, cuff bracelets, pendant necklaces, earrings and charms.
Interlocking G Collection
Following Guccio Gucci’s death in 1953, his son Aldo designed the most recognizable and coveted Italian fashion house logo in history. Inspired by his father’s accomplishments and in honor of his legacy, Guccio’s initials were originally used as a clasp for handbags from the workshop on Via Delle Caldaie, and form perfectly symmetrical locks; thus the “Interlocking G.” Depicted in gold or black, the colors represent harmony, domination, and the brand’s unwavering commitment to excellence. Traditional and transposed versions are both found throughout the House’s lines.
Le Marche des Merveilles Collection
Eclectic, modern and romantic, Alessandro Michele’s latest collection enchants with animal characters that, despite sumptuous detailing, maintain a whimsical and fairytale-like air. The feline head continues to be a defining motif of the House, while bees, hearts and tigers round out the menagerie that is “Wonders of the Market.” Ornate split rings, pendant necklaces, and bangle bracelets are encrusted in a stunning array of sapphires, rubies, topaz, diamonds and pearls. All are equally suited for dressing up casually chic outfits with luxurious pops of color, or adding drama to more formal ensembles. Regardless, they steal the show.
Men's Jewelry
Bold sterling silver and Aureco black command a variety of men’s pieces that quietly shout their masculine sex appeal and sensitivity. Sophisticated money clips, key rings and cufflinks bear Gucci’s iconic Interlocking G’s, while playfully urban GucciGhost engravings adorn band rings and dog tag chain necklaces. Splashes of color appear throughout the lines, particularly in the ornately detailed GucciGarden and Anger Forest collections; the former imbued with rich hues of gemstones and translucent enamel, the latter delivers animalistic dominance, taking shape via the heads of bulls, wolves and eagles. Gucci designs the hottest in fine Italian men’s jewelry, and you can find it all here at James Free.
Gucci's Past Present & Future
Guccio Gucci, working in hotels in Paris and London, was enamoured of his guest’s luxurious luggage. Before departing for his hometown of Florence, he visited the luxury leather goods manufacturer H.J. Cave & Sons. Thus equipped with extensive product observations and inspiration, in 1921 he established a shop that utilized industrial methods while focusing on fine design, traditional craftsmanship, and detailed finishing. Together with his sons, he expanded to Milan and Rome, and his product offerings to include shoes (the iconic loafer among them), handbags, silks and knitwear, all bearing signature patterns and colors of what would become the House of Gucci. Movie stars and the well-heeled sought Guccio’s wares, catapulting Gucci and the double G’s to international fame and success. Ever at the forefront of style, it is here the House remains, atop an exalted throne of Italian fashion and luxury.
