Handmade cycling themed jewelry. Stunning, unique and must see selection of one of a kind pieces. Most items are made to order and custom requests are aways welcome!
A lot of folks ask,"what does Velo Gioielli mean?" "Velo" is bike in French and "Gioielli" is jewelry in Italian. Two great cycling cultures. Velo Gioielli!
Cycling is my passion. I ride cyclocross, road and trail. Race,tour and mountian bike. I love all things bike! This handmade bike jewelry is another extension of that love. I create jewelry for those in mind with a passion for cycling from repurposed, recycled parts.
When I started bending and twisting up my first bike spoke bracelet I had no idea it would lead to all this. I realized the parts of bicycle chain become a great media and multipurposed. I like to use nice Campagnolo, Shimano and other high end or exotic bicycle chains. However, I can do something with most bike chain. Then it was a simple leap to add in break cable and bike inner tubes. Now being added in is a slection of metal work and multi-metal pieces.
I hope my passion for creating unique bikey jewelry is evident in the work here. There is a lot more to come so keep checking back for newer items. I try to add something every few days to keep it fresh.
Please feel free to ask about custom orders. Sizing, colors and materials can always be changed and possibly remade into a piece that is unique and special to you.

This bracelet is very simply made but in a high quality way. I love the color and how it fits my wrist. Shipping speed was I credible. I will definitely buy from VeloGioielli again.

This piece is a special order, it turned just as I had hoped for and is beautiful!

I purchased this bracelet as a replacement for the identical one that I lost. It arrived promptly, and included a regular clasp as well as a "quick-link" which i've used to fasten the bracelet much more securely. Nicely crafted, great service!

About
THE STORY
In 1986 I took a self supported cycling tour. I was a junior in high school and went with 5 other guys one being the adult tour guide, who was also a track coach. The 5 of us trugged across the state of Oregon and back carrying everything we needed our selves. I was hooked, I loved cycling.
Since I've had several different careers, jobs and one other business. At times I lost touch with cycling, but it's always been in my heart and when I return to it I always wonder why I'd stopped. I'm at home in the saddle.
Now I am truly loving what I do. It's becoming more than a passion and I enjoy bringing "bike" to people all over the world.

In 1986 the passion for cycling started when I road my bike across the state of Oregon and back. Now I share my passion for cycling through jewelry and art. I also continue to ride, but never as much as I like too.

Shipping
International shipments: small packages ship via USPS 1st class and are not exceptionally trackable and due to customs a bit unpredictable in regard to delivery date. Large packages will normally ship FedEx and easy to track.
All extra costs from duties, taxes or tariffs are the buyer's responsibility. They vary greatly from country to country and again I can not predict the exact amounts that might be charged.
Generally if there is a return, you pay for the return shipping. Issues are taken on a case by case basis and I will do my best to resolve any issue. I am happy to report to this date I've never had a lost package. Sometimes it takes a while to find out where a package went but those are very few and far between any issue.
Additional policies and FAQs
If the custom project is a general art project I can keep any piece you might not be happy with and create another. To date this hasn't been an issue but of course I'd work hard to resolve any issue.
