Pretty Pearls- June Birthstone

From one of the humblest of life forms, the mollusk, comes the pearl -- a gem of unsurpassed beauty and elegance. Ancient civilizations had many stories to explain the origin of June's birthstone, such as the Greek belief that pearls were the hardened tears of joy that the goddess of love shook from her eyes as she was born from the sea. According to Arab legend, pearls were formed when oysters were lured from the depths of the ocean by the beautiful moon and then swallowed moonlit dewdrops. And the Ancient Chinese thought that these gems originated from the brains of dragons.
EV Jewelry recognizes and celebrates the beauty of pearls through unique and one-of-a-kind designs featuring pure white and rare Tahitian pearls...

The Art of Enamel


Gemstones are grand, but the striking combination of gemstones and enamel is SPECTACULAR... Enamel jewelry is akin to miniature works of art. First developed by ancient Egyptians and Romans, the process of enameling utilizes various (and complicated) techniques to be able to produce exceptionally beautiful jewelry.


Special glass powders are melted then bonded and attached to metals. The layers of color are applied one by one and repeated firings produce unique styles and designs and color intensity.
