back to the future



it seems such a strange name...but stranger still is the collection itself. created by Ukrainian designer Vera Balyura, Verameat is a mishmash of trinket necklaces, rings and things that represent random products of our environment from times past, present and on the border of futuristic. dinosaurs, moon men, centaurs and airplanes only scratch the surface of her fanciful collection.




no matter what the charm is, each designed piece has a distinctly handmade touch to it. the whole "attention to detail" motto is down to a science. from the on/off heart switch on the robot to the painstaking recreation of "edward's scissorhands" (one of my absolute favorites and NOT JUST because i love the movie), you have to admit, you're gonna get your monies worth.



i'm all for vegan, recycled and organic products - Vera's creations are no exception. all items are made of recycled silver and brass material, or 18K gold, so you may spend a little more green, but don't have to worry about your fingers reflecting the same tragedy.
