The Great Mirror
The Soul of the Piece: These ear cuffs are a pure manifestation of the neo-romantic and intellectual aesthetic of Alessandro Michele's Anger Forest collection. Architectural pieces par excellence, they require no piercing and sculpt the ear cartilage with a remarkably precise hinged opening system. One bears the "GUCCI" signature, while the other is engraved with the Latin inscription "SPECULUM MAJUS." A jewel that transforms the accessory into a modern relic.
Why you'll love them: You'll adore their magnetic presence and surprising lightness. Crafted from fine jewelry brass, they offer a rigid and durable structure that won't warp, yet remain comfortable for extended wear. Their antique silver finish catches the light in a unique way, highlighting the dark details of the engravings. They're the perfect investment for those who want the visual impact of a runway piece without the weight of heavy metals.
Style Notes (We're keeping the same ones: Asymmetry, Visual Clearance, Mix of Textures)
The Craftsmanship: The Heritage of the Encyclopedia and Italian Design. The engraved term “SPECULUM MAJUS” (The Great Mirror) refers to the monumental 13th-century work of Vincent of Beauvais, an encyclopedia intended to reflect all the world’s knowledge. Under Alessandro Michele’s direction for the Anger Forest collection, Gucci has often drawn on these esoteric references to transform fashion into a cultural dialogue. These pieces are presented in their original green herbarium-patterned case, accompanied by their cotton pouch and authenticity booklet.
