Bold and Minimalist: Gucci’s Horsebit 70th Anniversary Collection in Yellow Gold

Bold designs feature the classic interlocking pattern with minimalist links, creating striking geometric chains with understated built-in clasps

First designed by Aldo Gucci as a moccasin ornament in 1953, the horsebit reflects the Maison’s historic ties to the equestrian world. A stylized miniature version of the double ring and metal attachment bar of a horse’s bridle, it has been an iconic Gucci signature ever since. A symbol of the community embodied by the Maison, it has been interpreted over seven decades as a metallic piece and as a motif on accessories, jewelry and ready-to-wear pieces.

On this occasion, the Maison is presenting several new pieces of jewelery made entirely in yellow gold, including a ring, a necklace and two bracelets – one with one row and the second with two rows. The chain’s contemporary design alternates the classic Horsebit signature with more minimalist decor, creating a captivating contrast. A necklace and two one-row and three-row bracelets, set with baguette-cut diamonds and bright green enamel details, complete the collection. Two new watches also put the iconic horse bit center stage. One features a delicate two-row chain with a multi-faceted diamond-shaped box, while the second reveals a bolder three-row chain. Both models feature a yellow gold case and bracelet and a brushed gold-tone dial.
