The Visionary Behind the ÉLYON brand: Elías Meraz
There are few individuals whose lives unfold like the pages of an epic saga—fewer still who can channel such richness into a brand. Elías Meraz, founder of ÉLYON, is one such individual. A former Marine Sergeant and peace officer, Elías has not merely lived in the world—he has absorbed it, shaping his journey into something rare and profound.
Raised on stories that melded adventure and spirituality, from the cinematic allure of Indiana Jones to the eternal wisdom of David and Goliath, Elías was destined to chase the extraordinary. At 17, he left home and leapt headfirst into the unknown by joining the Marines, defying convention in pursuit of a life that would not be confined to textbooks or tourist trails. The world, in all its chaos and beauty, called to him—and he answered, seeking meaning in every corner of the globe.
But this thirst for life was about more than adventure. As a Mexican immigrant who came to the United States in search of a better future, Elías understood that legacy is built, not given. Dissatisfied with the notion of simply "working for the man," he sought something more—a mission that would intertwine the spiritual with the material, the ancient with the modern. And so, in a moment of divine clarity, he asked God what his true purpose was.
The answer was ÉLYON—a brand conceived to elevate not just style, but spirit. The name, meaning "Most High," reflects the higher calling Elías sensed throughout his life. Rooted in his lifelong passions for theology, ancient history, and archaeology, ÉLYON stands as a bridge between the past and present, offering treasures of the earth—minerals, crystals, jewelry, and home décor—that resonate with both luxury and spiritual empowerment.
Operating from his Los Angeles base, Elías has turned ÉLYON into a sanctuary for the rare and the meaningful. The stones and crystals in his collection aren’t mere objects; they are pieces of history, hand-selected for their beauty and significance, unearthed from the same lands where civilizations once sought the divine. Every item tells a story—of power, of wisdom, of elegance.
For the clients who seek more than just luxury, for those who demand substance behind every facet, ÉLYON offers something unparalleled: a connection to the most ancient sources of energy, transformed into refined pieces designed to elevate your vibe and align your life with the extraordinary.
In the world of ÉLYON, every detail is meticulously crafted, every product carefully sourced. Elías Meraz isn’t simply building a brand—he’s curating a legacy.
