VERAMEAT: Unique Handmade Jewelry

"Each piece of VERAMEAT jewelry mirrors a self-sufficient life form with a sculptural presence. Hand-crafted in New York City from such fine materials as ecologically sound recycled silver and pure 14k gold, VERAMEAT designs are artfully refined contemporary heirlooms.

VERAMEAT is Vera Balyura, a teller of winding tales in search of the extraordinary. Born in Ukraine, she recalls woodcarving with her grandfather, horseback riding in Utah & moving to New York to be a high fashion model all before the age of 14. Each design reflects a personal (yet universal) inspiration—from traveling the world, making music, maritime ny sagas, botanical structures of light, futuristic visions of rogue spacemen in beer, and before history."

Three Potato Four

Three Potato Four is a site run by Janet Morales & Stu Eli. Their backgrounds are in the graphic design industry. In 2007, they started Three Potato Four because of their love of collections. I love the home decor section, with this letterpress wood type font set.

"I like to think of my work as 'crafty modern' – I make simple, clean forms, with a very handmade touch to it.

On most of my work I will make cutouts into the vessel, my signature design element. I will also carve into the piece using a pencil, or knife tool.

The images I work with are often things that I have been drawn to since I was young: like pebbles, cobblestone pathways, and animals. I am also fascinated with taking that image and paring it down to the simplest form possible." - Joanna Mendicino

Student Packaging

“The design is inspired by the colors and designs of Joseph Albers and the Op Art movement. The usage of the rectangular elements reflects Alber’s “Homage to the Square,” a series of paintings begun in 1949.” - Meeta Panesar, Designer
