A Little History About It's Vera Jewellery:
I have been designing and making jewellery since I was a child using old beads and stove pipe wire. Later, my Dad bought copper wire for me to use. I took my first silver-smithing course several decades ago in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. Fast forward a few decades and I started taking jewellery courses in Hamilton Canada, and the Scheveningen Netherlands. I love using vintage silverware, recycled metal, sterling silver, clay, and other non-traditional materials.

In 2010, I discovered Etsy and decided it was a great venue to sell my jewellery. Through my Etsy shop, I enjoy conversing with people from all over the world.
On weekends, I enjoy browsing through antique shops , vintage stores, and flea markets looking for old unwanted silver.
However, there never seems to be enough time in a day to create all the things I want to make.

I hope you will take time to browse and enjoy your visit to my 'It's Vera' shop. Please send me a 'message' if you have any questions. I try to check and answer messages regularly. I'd love to hear from you.
Please check my Policies before ordering.

A portion of the proceeds from my shop are donated to support international KIVA entrepreneurs and locally, 100 Women Who Care Hamilton-Wentworth charities.
