ABOUT US

 

 

Verameat is an independent jewelry brand founded by artist and Ukrainian immigrant Vera. We are female-owned and run. Our goal has always been to create jewelry that feels magical, protective, and personal...pieces you can wear every day that still feel special.

We use quality materials like sterling silver, brass, and gold-plated metals, and many of our rings are intentionally sturdy so they can be worn daily. (One customer even told us her bunny ring saved her finger when a window slammed shut on it!)

Verameat has been worn by artists, musicians, and people all over the world who love jewelry that feels a little different.

Every piece starts the same way:
a sketch in Vera’s notebook.

 

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.
