Everything's Coming Up ROSE GOLD

Gold jewelry is timeless, but for those who want a little more warmth in their gold jewelry pieces, ROSE GOLD offers the same timeless look, with a twist. Colored gold is all the rage, from chocolate, green, yellow and white, yet ROSE gold offers the wearer the same basic look as 14-kt yellow, with just a bit more uniqueness and trendiness.
Rose gold pieces are a bit more "high-end", yet are made to be worn with the same everyday cache as the more traditional gold colors of yellow and white. From earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets, ROSE GOLD is becoming the new "go-to" color of gold elegance...

The Goddess Kali-ma

When there were neither the creation, nor the sun, the moon, the planets, and the earth, when the darkness was enveloped in darkness, then the Mother, the Formless One, Maha Kali, the Great Power, was one with the Maha Kala, the Absolute – the Kali Ma.


The ancient goddess Kali Ma is often considered the kindest and most loving of all the Hindu goddesses and she is also regarded by her devotees as the Mother of the whole universe. She is the energy of destruction that brings forth the new. By facing the energy of change, our lives are transformed and we find ourselves held in the bosom of the Divine. Often seen as a the pre-emminent symbol of transformation, the Kali Ma herself has been transformed into a true work of art by the master craftsmen of EV JEWELRY. Elias Vayas, founder and principal designer labored for more than six months to create this true, one-of-a-kind masterpiece.

Meticulously hand-crafted and cast in 18K yellow gold, totaling 99.40 DWT, the Kali Ma pendant features more than 3.6 carats of Russian-cut, VS2 quality, G color diamonds, off-set by more than 20 carats of Burmese and Brazilian rubies in marquise, round and pear shapes.

When Legends Meet- Yamila Diaz-Rahi for Ev Jewelry

When two legends meet, the results are more than explosive. Such was the case when premiere jewelry designer Elias Vayas met world-renown supermodel Yamila Diaz-Rahi. Introduced through mutual friends, the two quickly realized that a collaboration between them would produce beautiful images of both Yamila and the one-of-a-kind creations of EV Jewelry.



A true professional in the modeling world, Yamila graced the covers of numerous national and international magazines including the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, Elle, Glamour, Shape and GQ. Yamila quickly realized that the designs produced and executed by Elias were worthy of her as a beautiful canvas on which they could be showcased to their maximum beauty.

Erez Sabag, fashion photographer and creator of the best selling book My Favorite T-Shirt, conducted the ensuing photo shoot. His expertise behind the camera produced some of the most beautiful images of Yamila (AND JEWELRY) ever captured on film.
To express his appreciation, Elias designed and created a true masterpiece in Yamila’s honor. Only one will ever be made, as Elias believed that his appreciation for Yamila’s time and efforts should not be diluted with replica pieces.

She is the energy of destruction that brings forth the new. By facing the energy of change, our lives are transformed and we find ourselves held in the bosom of the Divine.
