My Story

Kavalis jewelry is inspired by family traditions and the celebration of life’s journey.

My name is Gloria Van Arsdale and I am a Colorado based mom of two wonderful daughters. In my family, it is tradition to commemorate each special occasion with a meaningful piece of jewelry.  When my oldest daughter was graduating from college, I searched for a distinct piece of jewelry to capture the commemorative moment forever to no avail. Frustrated that my choices were limited to mass produced jewelry and determined that her graduation ring was going to be as beautiful as the story it told, I designed and created a one-of-a-kind graduation ring, unique and special just like my daughter.

The sparkle and pride I saw in my daughter’s eyes when she received a gift created just for her, made me realize I wanted to bring the same joy to others. So, after a long career in the corporate world, I left to follow a more creative path. Kavalis was founded with the vision of celebrating life’s journey by creating meaningful jewelry that will Inspire and Empower you every time you wear it.

Whether you are remembering the past, celebrating the present or envisioning the future, we would be honored to be part of your journey.
