Style Edit: The Labirinti Gucci high jewellery collection is inspired by Italy’s gardens, drawing on nature’s beauty, chaos and symmetry, and welcoming a new motif in the dragonfly
STORYSCMP Style Reporter
- The 140-piece collection features the generous use of coloured gemstones, from emeralds and tsavorites to tourmaline rubellites, opals and garnets for a colourful palette
- The dragonfly, a frequent visitor to Italian gardens, inspires a number of pieces in the collection, including brooches and earrings
The Labirinti Gucci high jewellery collection takes inspiration from Italy’s majestic gardens with their captivating fountains and flower beds, enchanting labyrinths and majestic mazes. Three themes – symmetry and ordered beauty, geometric splendour and blooming nature – form the 140-piece collection, which draws upon elements of nature at its wildest and most organic, while leaning into the manicured perfection that is abundantly found in Italy’s gardens.
Tapping into the aesthetics of the house, the collection highlights emblems such as dragonflies, as well as the house’s G motif, expressed in a resplendent and radiant manner.

Symmetry and ordered beauty are the pillars of giardini all’italiana, or Italian-style gardens. Creating harmony out of nature’s chaotic beauty was therefore the guiding star for several of the pieces in the Labirinti Gucci collection.
A garden-inspired collection would be impossible without the abundant use of coloured gemstones: in this case, emeralds, tourmaline rubellites in a rich palette of reds, as well as spinels and tsavorites, all come together in a vibrant symphony.
A statement cuff featuring a 5.9-carat Colombian emerald with an intense green hue radiates alongside five fancy diamonds and G motifs paved in diamonds.
In full bloom is a necklace with a linear chain featuring the G motif anchored with a 28.07-carat spinel and accented with tourmaline rubellite beads and tsavorites.
