Edina Kiss debuts sculptural Devil earrings with lapis, ruby accents

One 1.5-inch gold drop is enough to make the point. Edina Kiss’s Devil earring, set in 18-karat yellow gold with 53.12 carats of lapis, 0.12 carats of ruby and 0.47 carats of pink sapphire, is designed to work as a lone statement, not only as a matched pair. At 8.4 grams total, it has the weight and presence to read as intentional, a piece that punctuates the face instead of looking like it is waiting for a twin.

That matters because the single statement earring is no longer a styling accident. In Kiss’s hands, asymmetry feels finished when the jewelry itself carries enough scale, color and construction to stand on its own. The Devil silhouette does that through contrast: the saturated blue of the lapis drops, the tiny flashes of ruby and pink sapphire, and the warmth of the yellow gold give the eye enough to register as a complete composition. It suits a wearer who already treats jewelry as part of the outfit architecture, someone who is comfortable letting one ear do the talking while the other stays bare.

Kiss has built the piece into a wider message she describes as “serious jewelry for people who don’t take themselves too seriously.” Her devil-on-the-shoulder idea is about taking chances and choosing the unexpected, which is exactly why the earring lands as modern rather than merely decorative. The line itself was developed with guidance from Elizabeth “Beth Anne” Bonanno and Joel Cheatwood of The Gems Project, and the first collection is already 35 pieces strong, with more to come. Kiss began building the line in 2024, designed it in Manhattan Beach, California, and had it crafted in New York City by a team of artisans. The collection is made in small batches through a deliberate, hands-on process, a detail that matters here because the earrings depend on precision as much as drama.

Born in Budapest and now based in Manhattan Beach, Kiss threads her European background and international travel into a line that feels refined, sophisticated and irreverent at once. The collection first appeared at a trunk show at June Simmons Jewelry in Sarasota, Florida, and it is already being carried by Marissa Collections in Naples, Florida. Kiss will make her official industry-wide debut at COUTURE at Wynn Las Vegas, scheduled for May 27 to May 31, 2026, where she plans to introduce 15 to 20 new pieces split between summer-fun and more serious directions. For buyers recalibrating what counts as wearable luxury, the message is clear: one strong earring can feel more complete than a pair.
