Devam Jewelry is a quality jewelry store now based in Boca Raton, Florida, originated with the Jhaveri family in India. Dedicated to the art of fine jewelry and the value of unique, quality gems from around the world, the family has offices for their exquisite jewelry collection worldwide – in Antwerp, Mumbai, and Hong Kong as well.
Recently, Devam sent me a coffee table book containing high-quality photographs and descriptions of their finest designs. In reviewing this book, I found that the designs are unique – an elegant blend of modern colors and stonework with traditional motifs and structures.
Each piece of jewelry is handcrafted for Devam’s customers – the book makes this trait obvious, as the designs are so intricate that they could not possibly be cut by a machine. I was particularly impressed with the Peacock Jhumkas – a beautifully designed set of earrings where the rubies, emeralds, and Polki diamonds are carefully inset into the shape of the adored bird.
Devam’s passionate sourcing process is evident through the pieces as well. The Jhaveri family has maintained its devotion to high quality stones by traveling all over the world for the finest gems. From South Asian sapphires and rubies to Pacific Ocean pearls, Devam ensures that the highlight of each piece is not the dazzling arrangement, but rather the pure gemstone.
The Mughal-inspired pieces can be worn at any traditional Indian wedding, as they represent the flair of ancient India with the regal quality of pure gold and gems. The Floral Mughal Choker Set from the Nayaab Collection features Polki diamonds and rubies for a bright flash of traditional gold and red colors. The delicate flower detail is enhanced with emeralds and charming dangling earrings.
The Emerald pieces, such as the Emerald Necklace from the Elan Collection, are modern enough to wear over a black cocktail dress or a white wedding gown. The sparkling round diamonds are further brightened by the white gold base, while the deep green emeralds add depth and beauty to the structured necklace. A piece like this one is easily transferrable from an evening cocktail party to a colorful Indian sangeet.
Fusion pieces exemplify the seamless blend that Devam has mastered, magnifying both the sophistication of traditional Indian artwork and the simplicity of modern design. The Neela Mayuram Necklace features a simple chain of sapphire beads leading to a stunning diamond and white gold pendant, with an engraved sapphire peacock.
Overall, I was impressed with the intricacy of Devam’s designs and their unique blend of classic Indian motifs with contemporary elements. Although I was unable to view the jewelry in person, the quality of the sources and the details of the designs were evident in the delightful coffee book. I highly recommend the book as a source of inspiration for brides looking to personalize their wedding attire, and I further recommend visiting Devam Jewelry for consultations on their exquisite pieces.
