Gucci presents its second High Jewellery collection of 2021, by creative director Alessandro Michele, in a new advertising campaign featuring actress Jodie Turner-Smith.

Inspired by the mesmeric hues of the sky at various times of the day, the collection Hortus Deliciarum, Latin for Garden of Delights, echoes the eclectic quixotism of Alessandro’s kaleidoscopic universe.

Earrings in white gold, pink sapphires and diamonds.

Pendant in white gold, golden pearl, peridot, garnet, rubellites, pink imperial topaz and diamonds.

The collection is comprised of more than 130 pieces—largely one of a kind. From waterfalls, softly windblown forestry and the saturated, hypnotic hues of a sky at sunset to the animal kingdom and a rose garden, its motifs are divided into four chapters informed by the majestic beauty of the natural world.

Earrings in white gold with tanzanites, tsavorites, yellow beryl and diamonds.

Bracelet in white gold and diamonds.

Drawing on symbolic motifs, the collection takes its cue from the ephemeral yet recurring beauty of the changing sky and its shifting colours and constellations—and the simple, spiritual pleasure of looking up, wherever you are in the world.

Multi-finger ring in white gold, Paraiba tourmalines and diamonds.

Bracelet in yellow gold, yellow beryl and diamonds.
