ABOUT US

 

Owned by a Ukrainian immigrant who supports her whole family here in the US & in Ukraine with VM! Each piece of VERAMEAT jewelry is inspired by a self-sufficient life form with a sculptural presence. VERAMEAT designs are hand-crafted in New York City from fine materials such as 100% recycled sterling silver and plated with 14k gold on sturdy brass. We create artfully refined, contemporary heirlooms that suit your individual style and inspire your adventures.

VERAMEAT is Vera, an indoor cat who enjoys gliding on lakes and smelling flowers. Born in Ukraine, Vera recalls woodcarving with her grandfather, horseback riding in Utah, and high fashion modeling in New York all before the age of 14. Each design represents an experience that is at once personal yet universal. World traveling, making music, maritime sagas, botanical miracles, anatomical structures, and the history of the world are all contributing inspirations to the jewelry. VERAMEAT crafts keepsakes for everyone - from mutant dinosaurs to futuristic visions of rogue spacemen in galaxies unknown.

The collection is characterized by richly articulate surfaces, wearability, and subtle details which are exacted with a precision Vera inherited from her grandmother, a surgeon. The repertoire is playful and ferocious: dinosaurs devour fried chicken, disembodied hands glimmer in sunlight, and when Hipshark bumps against your heart, you’ve made a friend for life. We use the lost wax process or drawing bling on paper before inputting designs into the computer.
