Jean Prounis founded Prounis Jewelry in homage to her ancestry. Her great-grandfather, Otto Prounis, was the co-proprietor of Versailles, a celebrated 1940s nightclub in New York City. When she stumbled upon her grandfather’s treasure-trove of memorabilia and pictures, she knew exactly what she wanted to do. Prounis Jewelry combines Jean’s love of antiquities and a family legacy of creating treasured memories and objects. In this new episode of the Vault miniseries, Jean shares with host Shahidha Bari her family history, the joy of traditional goldsmithing techniques, and a summer of fun travels for her Vault Summer collection. Vault is the experimental online store expanding the narrative of the House. Through a careful curation of rare vintage Gucci finds alongside exclusive capsule collections from noteworthy brands, it becomes a meeting place where an impossible conversation becomes an inevitable one. To reveal a few facets of this ongoing dialogue on Vault, the Gucci Podcast meets with the contemporary creators featured on its virtual shelves.Discover Prounis Jewelry’s collection for Gucci Vault.
