The Gucci Allegoria 2023 High Jewelry collection captures nature’s glorious transformations and ephemeral beauty through the unrelenting changing of the seasons. The light-hearted spirit of this time of year inspires unique designs defined by fresh hues reminiscent of the multifarious blooms found in Gucci’s emblematic Flora motif.

As an allegory of the cycle of the four seasons, Gucci Allegoria magnifies nature’s ephemeral beauty and its relentless transformability as the collection plays with antique stones and eclectic cuts. Fan, briolette, paisley and kite shapes all feature, as speckles of baguette diamonds add an additional touch of light, setting everything into motion. A pair of jacket earrings are designed around two jaunty, fan-shaped emeralds that are perfectly matched for colour and saturation, totalling 18 carats, and which cascade with a mesh of diamonds and tourmalines. A necklace combines a hexagonal 10 carat emerald with two drop-shaped Paraiba tourmalines of 16 carats, offset by a halo of round, paisley and baguette diamonds.

Finally, one-of-a kind, old mine, European-cut stones imbue Gucci Allegoria with a unique vintage allure, evoking a time when gemstones were cut by hand and their larger facets cleaved in candlelight. Created primarily from 1890-1930, European cuts characterised the art deco period, and are the predecessors to today’s round brilliant cut diamond. A splendid example of 10 carat is the crowning star of a floral motif necklace, the chain festooned with opal engraved beads. A matching pair of earrings features two old European cut diamonds of more than 12 carats each, encircled by flower cut opals that add iridescence and shine, as baguette and paisley diamonds enrich the design.
