The Engineering of the JEWELRY Masterpiece



As the old adage goes..."The Devil is in the Details." That holds true for everything that is a pure design triumph. A beautifully cut article of clothing; a sleek European luxury automobile; a striking piece of architecture...a jewelry masterpiece.

At EV Jewelry, master designer Elias Vayas knows that the "devil" of design is in the details and construction of a piece of jewelry. Although pure metals and the finest gemstones go a long way and can help elevate jewelry to "designer" status, the true designer pieces are not only about beauty, but engineering and performance.

Does the ring sit correctly on the finger, or does it roll around? Does an earring hang just so, or does it get tangled? Does a necklace follow the curve and form of the woman's neck it graces, or does it flip? Design is not only in how a piece looks, but how it performs. Jewelry is meant to adorn the lovely and make them (even) more striking. Jewelry is meant to enhance, not detract. If a piece of jewelry, no matter what the cost or quality of materials used, distracts the wearer -- and ultimately -- the admirer by rolling, tangling or flipping it is not in the true sense of the word, a masterpiece.

Sassy Fashionista: EV Jewelry Design GIVEAWAY!

Sassy Fashionista: EV Jewelry Design GIVEAWAY!

Silver Jewelry

Jewelry is for everyone and everyone should be able to afford jewelry that is not only beautiful to look at, but is also high-quality and full of details found in more expensive collections. That is why master craftsman Elias Vayas, owner of EV Jewelry, created his one-of-a-kind sterling silver pieces.



Although more modestly priced than his 14, 18, 22 kt and platinum collections, his sterling creations do not skimp on details including the use of precious and semi-precious gemstones, hidden safety clasps, and under-galleries (rings) that his higher priced pieces are known for

Style is about self expression and Elias long-ago recognized that many of his customers and clients appreciate "everyday" pieces in sterling sliver and gemstones including opaque onyx, smoky quartz, rose quartz and cubic zirconia. The price-points of his silver pieces belie the fact that each is a hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind masterpiece that is born from the same dedication to detail, design experience and jewelry expertise that are the hallmarks of his high-end pieces.

Crosses




Long seen as a symbol of faith, the classic silhouette of the cross has evolved from a talisman of not only one’s spirituality, but to one that also conveys panache.

Helping his customers express not only their beliefs, but also their individuality, jewelry designer Elias Vayas has created a collection of crosses that speak to every sense of spirituality as well as every sense of personal style.

From classic gold, diamond and gemstone designs, to darker and more mysterious free form, Renaissance and Maltese crosses, the creations of EV Jewelry have been worshipped by faithful customers and collectors and are considered by many to be a “religion” unto themselves…

The Classics NEVER Go “Out-of-Style”.






That statement rings true for movies, such as “Gone With The Wind”, books such as “Catcher In The Rye”, clothing and fashion such as the perfect pair of black pants, a crisp white
shirt or the khaki trench coat. In many ways, that sentiment is most appropriate when referring to jewelry pieces such as a gold
necklace, tailored bracelet, diamond earring, or statement ring.

EV Jewelry is the epitome of classic pieces that truly stand the test of time and ones that appeal to -- and are worn by – women of style, regardless of age.



Created by master craftsman Elias Vayas, these pieces speak to the fashionable and practical sensibilities of women around the world. Crafted from only the finest platinum, diamonds, gold and gemstones each one-of-a-kind piece is a true investment to be cherished and passed down from generation to generation. Whether you’re 18 or 80, timeless jewelry announces to all that “you’ve arrived” and that you have the good sense to know it – and show it!
