As one of the oldest luxury Italian fashion brands, Gucci continues to impress with exclusive designs and new collections. And now, all eyes are on a second high jewelry collection, which includes some exquisite style ideas and earrings.
Garden of Delights is a jewelry collection of over 130 pieces, featuring bold colors, unique designs, and playful sophistication. As the name suggests, this collection takes inspiration from nature, especially constellations, sky, and landscapes.
Diamonds mimic the graceful movement of waterfalls. Signature pieces evoke the wind. Colored gemstones nod to different times of day, and how the sky transforms hour to hour. Romantic elegance can be seen in classic designs, while there are also animal motifs.
Yet as stunning as this new collection is, the truth is that Gucci offers earrings outside of it, including comparatively affordable fine and fashion jewelry options.
Consider this your guide to the best Gucci earring ideas for 2022. I’ll tell you how to pick a pair of earrings for you, and I’ll give you my picks.
What’s unique about Gucci?
Since it was founded in 1921 in Florence as a luggage manufacturer, something that stood out about Gucci was its eye for design and quality materials. Bold, opulent, and unique designs have lent themselves to an artistic reputation. Gucci is quite popular amongst singers, musicians, and other entertainers.
The company’s heritage, unique design, and clever marketing techniques all point to why Gucci is expensive and unique. Gucci has designed for the aristocracy and even worked with fashion houses in London.
Global brand recognition, a status symbol, and attention to detail are behind the new and classic bold Gucci designs.
Is Gucci jewelry good quality?
Gucci jewelry using real quality, precious materials. These include sterling silver, platinum, and solid gold. However, there’s some distinction between Gucci costume vs fine and high jewelry earrings.
Gucci has also committed to using conflict-free, high-quality diamonds. And in 2017, Gucci announced that it would no longer use animal fur, but switch to “cruelty-free vegan alternatives.
All told, while their materials do vary based upon product, Gucci thoughtfully constructs its goods with quality materials. There is room for improvement, but you can expect a good quality piece of jewelry.
How do I pick the best Gucci earrings?
Picking the best Gucci earrings means determining your budget, style preferences, and what you’ll be wearing these earrings for. There’s a wide range of earrings, so narrowing down your options can help before you start shopping.
Here’s what you need to know about Gucci earrings.
Are Gucci earrings real gold?
Gucci earrings are both solid gold and gold plated. All Gucci gold is real, but not all of it is valuable, solid gold. Gold plating is real gold, but a fine layer. This provides sterling silver earrings, for instance, a gold finish without the cost of solid gold. This practice is common for fashion jewelry. For Gucci fine and high jewelry earrings, however, you can expect solid gold.
Can you wear Gucci earrings in the shower?
Gucci earrings are durable when well cared for you, but I strongly recommend removing them before showering, bathing, or anything related. Sterling silver is never a good idea to get wet, as it can corrode. While mistakenly leaving them in if they’re solid gold will not ruin them, it’s still a good idea to keep them dry and moisture-free.
Do note that some Gucci earrings, especially sterling silver, can tarnish. You can reduce this by taking your earrings off and placing them in a secure, moisture-free environment. Taking in your earrings for professional cleaning once a year is also an excellent idea.
What Gucci earrings are in style now?
Any classic Gucci earring is hard to go wrong with. Simple studs with the Gucci logo are always in style. The earrings that are trending right now are starting to push away from minimalist or conventional looks.
Opting for more daring styles, there’s an emergence of bold and even retro earring trends. Consider tube hoop earrings to modern takes on pearl earrings, statement earrings, and even mismatched earrings, 2022 is seeing more self-expression. Also popular are chain link earrings, double hoop earrings, celestial themes, and earrings with unique geometry.
Should I buy fashion, fine, or high-end Gucci earrings?
Of course, you’ll also need to decide what type of Gucci earrings to buy. Gucci offers two main options to buy from fashion and fine jewelry. Those also have high-end collections that are hard to get your hands on, and often showcased on runways.
Fashion earrings typically feature more affordable metal types, including silver. While Gucci does offer some gold-plated earrings, keep in mind that these are a bit less valuable or durable. That said, fashion earrings tend to be more bold, fun, and trendy.
Fine Gucci earrings stand the test of time a little better– but of course, you’ll have to pay a good deal more. These are suited for formal occasions and still have some bold designs, but leaning more towards classic styles.
All told, all Gucci earrings are well designed. It depends on your budget, why you’re buying Gucci earrings, and how you’d wear them.

I’ve also sorted each of my picks from cheapest to most expensive, so you can find a pair of earrings that suit your budget.
Fashion Gucci Earrings
Black with gold accents, jewel tones, and motifs make for an eye-catching collection of fashion earrings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question: How do I check my Gucci serial number?
Answer: You’ll have the easiest time finding a serial number on a Gucci bag. Gucci bag serial numbers are placed inside near the zipped pocket, directly across from the front closure. However, when in doubt about authenticity, your best bet is to buy directly from Gucci.
Question: Does all Gucci jewelry say Made in Italy?
Answer: One of the best indicators of real vs fake Gucci earrings is the Made in Italy indicator. All earrings should also have a trademark, and “Gucci”. Made in Italy is typically in lower case letters. All Gucci jewelry is indeed made in Italy, so anything that claims to be Gucci but indicates it was made elsewhere is a fake.
Question: Why is Gucci so expensive?
Answer: In some ways, Gucci is not as expensive as you might assume, at least for its jewelry. While Gucci is certainly pricey, it also offers arguably more options that are relatively affordable than some competitors. But it’s generally expensive for the same reasons that luxury jewelry is expensive. Gucci uses higher quality materials (mostly for its fine collection), has exclusive designs, wise marketing, and, of course, a respected name.
Question: Does Gucci have a payment plan?
Answer: Gucci offers payment plans for nearly all of its accessories. Typically, you can select from 3, 6, or 12-month payment plans, based upon the product. If you’re financing through Affirm, that comes with zero interest. However, you need to first find out if you’re eligible for the zero financing option.
Final Thoughts
Gucci earrings are often bold, expression, but undeniably iconic. From the Double G to flowers, crosses, and lions, motifs accent nearly every fashion or fine jewelry earring. While the fashion collection is playful and expressive, the fine jewelry collection sparkles with white diamonds and shines with quality 18K gold.
The best news? You can easily find a pair of Gucci earrings under $2000– something that cannot be said for some of its competitors.
