Two New Necklaces … with a TWIST!

Today’s two new necklaces are my way of conveying everything I find beautiful about fall and winter: It’s colors (snow-white, black, grays and all kinds of bold solids!), it’s unique landscape-inspired textures, the simple sophistication and elegance, and its lovely timelessness.   Within the VeruDesigns universe of jewelry, these necklaces are unique for 2 reasons: First, because they are my […]

Our first-ever tassel necklaces!

I’m kind of embarrassed to admit that I didn’t know what a tassel necklace looked like until a few months ago. It wasn’t until a meeting with a client in Philadelphia that I heard the term for the first time, as she explained to me the general characteristics of tassel necklaces. I left that coffee shop […]
