"GUCC" 2016-21 aged sterling silver tiger head pendant necklace

While maintaining the traditional dignity of leather goods, since Alessandro Michele’s appointment, the brand has boldly layered ornamentation and storytelling, incorporating mythological and natural motifs into modern wardrobes to build a new Gucci image. Here, we introduce a piece featuring the tiger head motif, a symbol of the Michele era.

This exquisite piece features a textured aging silver with shadows and a three-dimensional form that draws the eye.

The tiger head placed at the top is meticulously modeled up to the roaring mouth, with the fur's unevenness breaking light into fine fragments, making its presence more prominent than its size.

From the front, a sense of power is immediately apparent, but the well-structured nose bridge and forehead prevent it from being merely rough, leaving a quiet sculptural elegance.

Made of sterling silver 925 with an aging process, it does not boast brightness but instead features darkened shadows that support a three-dimensional feel, giving the impression of a treasured item that has aged over time, a mood Michele was known for.

The chain is also unified in a subdued tone, ensuring that only the top stands out, creating a natural sense of unity around the neck, which is a pleasing point.

On the back, the interlocking G is housed within a shield-shaped frame, quietly incorporating the brand code against the fierce appearance on the front, creating a duality that allows for a change in expression.

The clasp is user-friendly with a clip design, making daily wear and removal smooth, and despite being a design piece, it minimizes practical stress.

The basis for considering the period as from 2016 to around 2021 is that the tiger head motif was introduced after Michele’s appointment from the Dionysus context and became an iconic design symbolizing Gucci thereafter. Additionally, the design featuring interlocking G within a shield-shaped motif and the antique-style oxidation finish, which was frequently used in the late 2010s, support its credibility as a range.

Furthermore, it aligns with the current packaging specifications, highlighting its appeal as an individual that retains the atmosphere of the Michele era.

This exquisite piece is especially recommended for those who want to tell a story with a single item while keeping their outfit simple, or for those who want to incorporate motif jewelry as their personal symbol without being bound by gender. Its assertiveness, combined with the shading texture, makes it surprisingly easy to incorporate into everyday life.

Styling-wise, pairing it with structured outfits like tailored jackets or minimal coats creates a sculptural density around the neck, tightening the overall look.

Alternatively, by pairing it with simple shirts or smooth tops, you can add a touch of maximalism characteristic of the Michele era with a single piece, creating an elegant and mode balance that transcends gender.

Take this opportunity.
