Guzema, 3.1 Phillip Lim Collab on New ‘Snake’ Designs
The limited-edition collection, a nod to the Year of the Snake, is Ukrainian brand Guzema’s first partnership with a U.S. brand.

The partnership is the Ukrainian brand’s first collaboration with a U.S. brand.
The limited-edition “3.1 Phillip Lim x Guzema” collection features two styles, the “Snake” choker and matching “Snake” bracelet.
The pieces are offered in sterling silver, yellow gold-plated silver, 14-karat yellow and white gold, and—by special order—18-karat yellow and white gold.
The Guzema logo and 3.1 Philip Lim signature logo are engraved on each clasp, with one necklace design also featuring diamond pavé on the clasp.
Guzema’s Snake designs are a nod to “the transformative energy of the 2025 Lunar New Year,” said the brand, as it is currently the Year of the Wood Snake.
“We started to talk about how we could collaborate, and how Guzema could be part of the upcoming collection, and perhaps create something special to celebrate the Year of the Snake, which is all about transformation, growth, and shedding what no longer serves you” said Valeriya Guzema, founder and designer of her eponymous brand.
“It only made sense then to focus on a snake choker and bracelet for the collaboration pieces. They nod to the sensual, undulating way a snake moves, and multiple chains can be braided together to create an infinity effect. The rest is history, as they say.”
This year is also 3.1 Phillip Lim’s 20th anniversary, and CEO Wen Zhou said it is kicking off the celebratory year with this collaboration, as the snake pieces are inspired by the idea of transformation and growth.
“One thing that resonated with me was [Guzema’s] philosophy of creating minimal, yet powerful pieces, deeply rooted in their heritage,” said Zhou.
“I believe upholding a similar ethos—to ‘make less, mean more,’ always focusing on craft—is why 3.1 [Phillip Lim] has celebrated the 20-year milestone we just did.”
The pieces range in price from $400 to $12,400.
The designs will debut with 3.1 Philip Lim’s fall/winter 2025 collection during New York Fashion Week.
The necklace and bracelet are also featured in the lookbook, which was shot and styled by fashion director Rasaan Wyzard.
The 3.1 Phillip Lim x Guzema collection is currently available for pre-order and will launch on March 26.
It will be sold exclusively on the Guzema website and at 3.1 Philip Lim stores around the world.
