This Dazzling Gucci Necklace Took 300 Hours to Make—Will It Debut at the Oscars?

While fashion has all eyes on Paris where the couture shows are underway, soon everyone will turn their attention to Los Angeles as award season kicks into high gear. Gucci just unveiled its newest High Jewelry pieces in Paris, and I couldn't help but picture the dazzling items making their red carpet debuts at the upcoming Oscars in March. Can you blame me? The jaw-dropping pieces certainly deserve their close-up moments. 

One necklace, in particular, stood out to me after I learned that it took a whopping 300 hours to produce and was "inspired by the beauty of shooting stars and the sparkling torrents of a waterfall," per the press release. "The necklace features diamond-embellished starbursts trimmed with lady-like diamond bows," Gucci explained. Sounds like a dream.

Erin Fitzpatrick
Senior News Editor

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
