The 'Stardust' actress will replace Drew Barrymore in the campaign which is set to launch this autumn.
Gucci creative director Frida Giannini said: "Claire Danes is a modern icon. For me she is one of the most interesting young actresses on the international scene. She is very natural, fresh and has a carefree attitude that is reflected in the roles she has chosen.
"Claire's sensual, confident beauty and her passionate, independent and strong character embodies today's Gucci woman."
The 29-year-old actress - who can next be seen starring alongside Zac Efron and Ben Chaplin in period drama 'Me and Orson Welles' - is "excited" about being involved with the Italian fashion house.
She said: "I am honoured to be working with Gucci on their jewellery campaign. Frida Giannini is a very inspiring and creative woman. Her vision is extraordinary and I am excited to be a part of it."
This isn't the first time Claire has turned her hand to modelling.
Last year, she appeared in a TV commercial for fashion company GAP with actor Patrick Wilson.
