REST IN PEACE Larkin Gray, my beautiful & beloved daughter (1994-2014), killed by a distracted driver --- #EndDD
Sourcing vintage for you in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Kansas and beyond!
I love both diamonds and rust. I spent many years in fine jewelry sales and design, which fortuitously combined my passions for science (gems) and art. My love of “rust” was inspired by my Papaw, who was the original picker & "horse trader" and my mom, who now does some picking for me (thanks, Mom!). My shop is named for my great grandmother: the original Vera Viola, who hailed from the mountains of Arkansas.

Shipping
Please check shop announcement for shipping delay info. All items are as packaged as carefully as possible - I want things to arrive to you in the same condition in which they left me. I do often use recycled packaging, but pack to hold up to heavy handling & inclement weather.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING is available and listed on all items as I'm happy to ship internationally. Please note, however, that veraviola is not responsible for any VAT/Customs fees that may be related to to your order nor will we help you in illegally circumventing these fees if they are applicable to you. Falsifying customs declarations or having an item marked as "gift" in order to avoid customs fees is classified as Mail Fraud and is a felony.
