Those of you who have purchased a VeruDesigns piece, know that I don’t ask my beautiful clients for testimonials (which every business is supposed to do). Why? Well, to be honest it’s both, a lack of discipline and some sort of “guilt” I feel about asking people to spend their time and energy to write something for […]
Since I rarely get a chance to share our “custom” jewelry pieces (normally they are shipped to our clients before I get a chance to take any pictures), this time I made sure to document 3 of our most recent custom orders. One thing you’ll notice is that when you make a custom order, […]
Welcome to our our jewelry love nest! Over the last year I’ve received several e-mails and comments, asking me to share pictures of the space where I work. I wasn’t sure why anyone would be interested in seeing the place where VeruDesigns jewelry is made, until I found myself feeling curious about another’s Artist […]
Do you believe that a Marriage can be easy? Effortlessly fun? Effortlessly romantic? Effortlessly exciting? Effortlessly VERY happy? Effortlessly honest? Supportive? Effortlessly strong? I do. Before you misunderstand me, please know that my life is not perfect by any means. I have ups and downs like everybody else. Except in one area: […]
Today I’m writing from the beautiful White Mountains of New Hampshire here in the US. What am I doing here? Well, I’m working. But! I’m also….guess what?!?! I’m enjoying my second honeymoon!!! YAY!! 🙂 If you follow VeruDesigns on facebook, then you may know that last Thursday June 5th, Cliff (my amazing husband) and moi, got re-married in Washington DC. That’s right. We […]

Unlike our prior necklaces, “IMILLA” is not an Incan Goddess name. Instead, it’s a word in quechua (the native Inca language) that simply means “girl” or “(female) child”. Now, Imill-ita (which is what I’ve called today’s necklace) is a spanish variation on this word, that makes the original word sound sweeter, kinder, lovelier. So far, […]
“MAMA KILYA” is the Incan Goddess of the Moon. Protector of all women and the source of all that is strong, beautiful and kind in women’s hearts. Naming our 3rd Necklace of our “Bolivian Goddess Collection” after this Goddess seemed almost too perfect, and you’ll know why after I introduce you not just to […]
In the INCAS culture, “Mama Cocha” was the deity who represented all that was feminine. She was also known as the Goddess of Water… the most fundamental element for our survival as a species. Cocha is also the nickname of my hometown (short for “Cochabamba“) that will forever be part of my identity. It […]
I have been thinking about a bolivian-themed collection for a loooong time ever since I started VeruDesigns and realized that there was nothing in my jewelry that was representative of where I come from. The closest I came to something bolivian-inspired is my “Samponha Collection“, but you wouldn’t know it unless I tell you. […]
