Gucci began in 1921 outfitting riders, and the horsebit — a horse's snaffle bit, joined to a ring — became its signature hardware, seen on the famous loafers and bags. In gold jewellery the motif turns Gucci's heritage into wearable fine pieces, and the solid-gold examples carry both brand appeal and real metal value.
What is Horsebit jewellery?
The signature is the horsebit motif — a snaffle-bit bar linked to a ring — across bracelets, rings, necklaces and earrings. Gucci jewellery runs from sterling silver fashion pieces to solid 18ct gold fine jewellery (the Horsebit and Link to Love lines), some with diamonds. The gold pieces are the value items. Genuine Gucci is signed Gucci, marked for metal, and hallmarked.
