Phillip Gavriel Pays Tribute to Venice With New Collection
The “Venetian Link” series modernizes the classic Veneziana box chain in its bracelets and necklaces.

The brand’s founder and namesake, Phillip Gavriel, found inspiration in the classic Italian design, which was first developed half a century ago in the region of Veneto.
The collection promotes the designer’s values of linking the cultural history of Italy to a modern fashion statement that can be appreciated for years to come, said the brand.
Each piece was designed as a contemporary take on the classic chain style, with a mission to create timeless pieces that will become family heirlooms.
The necklaces and bracelets in the 10-piece collection feature two tones of 14-karat gold, plus diamond accents and gemstones.
The brand said it chose to use 14-karat gold exclusively in its “Venetian Link” series as a response to the growing demand for the metal, as consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the intrinsic value of fine jewelry and are more willing to splurge on pieces meant to endure the test of time.
The “Venetian Link” collection is now available on Phillip Gavriel’s website and through authorized retailers.
The brand will also present the new collection to retailers at the JCK Las Vegas show, which begins May 31.
