About Us

La Nave Jewelry is a mother-daughter fine jewelry company founded by Dena (Martelli) Eubank and Peighton (Eubank) Copeland. Rooted in family tradition and inspired by our Italian heritage, we specialize in sourcing exceptional fine jewelry and guiding clients through the creation of bespoke pieces designed to be treasured for generations.

The name La Nave, Italian for "the vessel," honors the Martelli family history. Originating from Rio Marina on the island of Elba, the Martelli family operated maritime shipping routes between Europe and the United States. In the early 1900s, Angelo Martelli made the journey to America aboard one of the family's vessels, ultimately settling in Galveston, Texas. His story of adventure, craftsmanship, and connection continues to inspire the values that guide our business today.

At La Nave Jewelry, we believe fine jewelry should be personal. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, marking a special occasion, or bringing a long-held vision to life, we work closely with each client to source or create pieces that reflect their individual style and story.

Our expertise lies in custom engagement rings, bespoke jewelry design, heirloom-inspired creations, and sourcing fine jewelry from a trusted network of manufacturers and suppliers around the world. We offer both natural and lab-grown diamonds, natural and lab-created gemstones, and work exclusively with precious metals allowing us to create beautiful pieces across a range of styles and budgets. Every piece is thoughtfully curated with an emphasis on quality, craftsmanship, and lasting beauty.

From the initial conversation to the final piece, our goal is to provide a seamless, personalized experience that feels both approachable and exceptional.

We are honored to be part of life's most meaningful moments and look forward to helping you create something truly special.
