Comprised of eyes, snake and alligator jaws affixed to gold chains it looked like something out of a thriller/ horror movie -JAWS anyone?.

JEWELS FROM THE RUNWAY: Gucci Cruise 2019

Alessandra Michelle’s vision for the 2019 Cruise collecton for Gucci extended to the inevitability of death. “The inspiration is an ossuary, the crypts of the cardinals, of the monks in the 15th century, and the precious decorations,” -Gucci quoted Michele on Instagram. “This idea is that everything that is linked to the afterlife is accompanied by something of maximum beauty. It’s the idea of death as fascination.”

The show displayed velvet rosary chokers, oversized cross earrings which resembled stain glass windows, tiered embellished shell earrings and large block rings – some spelling out the word ‘Deus’ – which is latin for God. The standout piece in the collection? Brooches and earrings festooned with  scarabs – a symbol of new life and regeneration.
