Gucci Has Opened its First High Jewellery Boutique in Paris

By MiNDFOOD

If you’re Paris bound, then you’ll want to make sure a visit to Place Vendôme is on your list of things to do as Gucci has opened its very first boutique dedicated to fine and high jewellery. The boutique brings to life creative director Alessandro Michele’s passion for jewellery and the first-ever high jewellery collection for Gucci, Hortus Deliciarum, which Michele designed and sourced unique stones for, will be sold at the boutique alongside Gucci’s collection of fine jewellery.

The breathtaking Hortus Deliciarum collection draws on the motifs that are dear to Michele and features more than 200 pieces – most of which are one-of-a-kind. The motifs revolve around a trio of themes – the emblems of eternal love; the majesty of the animal kingdom; and singular solitaries redefined with maximalist allure. Each gemstone is uniquely set in what Michele describes as “discordant symmetry”, ever-so-slightly mismatched to channel the spirituality of imperfection. 

As for the boutique, the design of 16 Place Vendôme is a departure from Gucci’s distinct saturated hues we have become accustomed to. The design, in contrast, is elegant and understated allowing the colourful vibrancy of the jewellery housed within to bring the space to life.  In Hortus Deliciarum, coloured gemstones evoke a mythical garden in full bloom, a spectrum of honey-hued imperial topaz, blushed-rosé topaz, velvety green tourmaline, and mandarin garnets, white diamonds, pink and blue sapphires, pearlescent opals, and yellow beryls.
