Nava Zahavi sources some of the most colourful gemstones on the planet, cuts them, and wraps them in stunning 24k gold creations. She is drawn to gemstones that evoke sea, sky, and sand, often enveloping them in the sunlit warmth of 24k gold. Nava draws her inspiration from the Mediterranean environment she grew up in - the sea, the beaches, olive trees, and fresh soil.

The cultural influences evident in her line can be traced to ancient Egypt and Greece. The structural organization of her jewelry reveals her extensive background in design. Rambles through antique markets around the world awakened Nava Zahavi's gift for reinterpreting the adornments of ancient civilizations. The influence of artisans from centuries past can be seen in each of her creations, as well as the crystalline hues of her Mediterranean homeland.

Nava's collection is based on two lines, which complement each other. Her collection contains reproductions of antique jewelry made with 14k rose gold, reminiscent of aristocratic splendor. At the other end of the spectrum is Nava's modern line, containing unique pieces enhanced by semiprecious stones. These pieces incorporate 24k gold in a very modern yet timeless setting.
