There was so much glamorous jewelry at Gabriel & Co.’s press event last night at The Mulberry (one of the cutest speakeasies that I have ever visited, located at 240 Mulberry Street). Actually the official name of the event was That’s Love, Perfected Holiday Event. The brand is well known for incorporating interesting textures, sculptural shapes, intricate settings and combinations of precious metals that give traditional jewelry a fresh appearance. There were fun event themed drinks but I was a teetotaler last night. I had a great time sorting through the great collection of silver bangle bracelets in the Bujukan Bangle Collection (pictured above). Guests got to pick out a bangle as a gift and I fell in love with the help of encrusted one!
All of the jewelry was displayed under glass domes in a dimly lit romantic alcove or on the bar. I admit that I spent a lot of people time looking up all the pieces on the official Gabriel & Co. website to see if they had coordinated pieces ot were part of a set. Gabriel & Co. has a lot of great men’s pieces that were not on display that would make amazing holiday gifts, especially when it comes to rings!
Here’s a photo of four of the aforementioned domes! What a fun way to put jewelry on display at a party! Now here’s a “backgrounder” on this highly creative company: the history of Gabriel & Co. begins in Beirut, Lebanon, where brothers Jack and Dominick Gabriel grew up surrounded by the art and tradition of fine jewelry making. Their father, Elias Gabriel, was a master jeweler whose passion for precious metals, diamonds and gemstones helped shape his sons’ appreciation for craftsmanship from an early age. After the family relocated to the United States in 1983, the brothers continued developing their skills and eventually established their own jewelry design house in New York City in 1989. Combining Dominick’s creative vision with Jack’s technical and engineering expertise, they built a family-owned business that would become a well-known name in American fine jewelry. Their goal was to bring a fresh perspective to traditional jewelry design, creating beautiful, distinctive pieces that would appeal to women looking for both timeless elegance and contemporary style.
The philosophy behind Gabriel & Co. is captured in its signature expression, “Artisans of Love,” which reflects the belief that jewelry should represent much more than beauty or luxury. The brothers view each creation as a meaningful expression of love, personal milestones, relationships and treasured memories. Their design approach combines artistic creativity with meticulous attention to detail, emphasizing pieces that can be worn and enjoyed every day while remaining special enough to become family heirlooms. Quality, authenticity and responsible craftsmanship are also central to the company’s philosophy, with individually numbered pieces, digital certificates of authenticity, GIA-verified diamonds and an ongoing commitment to recycled gold and responsible sourcing. Beyond jewelry, the Gabriel family also embraces philanthropy through the Gabriel Love Foundation, which supports children in need. Ultimately, the company’s philosophy is built around the idea that the most beautiful jewelry tells a personal story and becomes part of someone’s life for generations to come.
