Is your jewelry handcrafted or artisan jewelry?

Yes! While not all pieces are labeled as “artisan jewelry,” Velani collaborates with skilled jewelry makers in Brazil, Italy, and the USA.

What does "tarnish-resistant" really mean?

Tarnish-resistant means your Velani Jewelry won’t discolor easily—but no metal is 100% tarnish-proof unless it’s pure gold. Here’s the difference:

  • Gold-filled jewelry lasts years with care (superior to gold-plated)
  • Sterling silver jewelry may patina slightly over time but can be polished back to brilliance
  • Our pieces are safe to wear in water, but avoid chlorine, perfumes, and lotions to prolong lifespan
