I know! My next newsletter is supposed to come out NEXT Tuesday, not today. But hear me out. I have a good reason to visit you today 🙂 I want to give you this Necklace, FREE. It has been a while since our last free giveaway, and as I looked at the beautiful picture of Ceci (our last winner from South America). […]
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 […]

I know, I know. You may think this is another pretty (and hopefully meaningful) “Tuesday’s Reveal” newsletter. But you’re in for a treat: Besides revealing the first part of our much anticipated Bridal/Nature 2014 Spring/Summer Jewelry Collection, there is a surprise. Rather than reading our lovely blog post, you are about to enjoy our FIRST ever VeruDesigns Digital Magazine! Some of you will even get the […]
Can I just say: I’m feeling so so so darn blessed lately. Sometime in mid-2013 was the first time that I briefly thought that I may loose my mom to a sudden illness. Isn’t it funny how “bad things” bring a stronger-than-ever-before awareness of the blessings we have in life?! Of course we shouldn’t need to have […]
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. […]

I’ve been so looking forward to today’s reveal of our newest Featured Jewelry Artist. If you read our newsletter every Tuesday, then Purva Gokhale is already familiar to you. She was our 1st place winner at our Philadelphia WEST ELM event raffle. What you don’t know about Purva, is that she is the young […]
I realize that today’s newsletter is arriving a day late, and to be honest, I thought about not writing a post this week. But as I was spending time with my mother last night who is visiting to celebrate her AMAZING recovery, and reflecting on the miracle of her health, this idea came to me. […]

Even though we are 3 months away from 2014, and there is still much to be enjoyed this year, I’ve learned that when I plan ahead, the likelihood of experiencing new and wonderful things with VeruDesigns, and in my personal life, is much, much higher than when I leave it up to “luck” or circumstances. It may seem early to begin planning, but as […]
One of the challenges I faced early on as a jewelry designer was accepting the fact that unlike some artists who are born with a very specific purpose, and have a laser-focused passion for doing that “one thing” alone, I had to come to terms with the fact that I’m a multi-passionate artist. I love […]
