Verstara
I’m Colleen, the hands and heart behind Verstara. This work began when I lost my own horse and longed for a way to carry him with me—something worthy of his memory, not ordinary or homemade.
That search became Verstara which has been growing for the past 15 years. Today, I split my time between my US & Canadian studios, create every piece in my Alberta or Arizona studios using only fine metals, diamonds, and stones. I know the trust it takes to send your horse’s hair, your pet’s ashes, or your story to me. That trust is honored in the way I treat each inclusion with the utmost care and reverence.
Your Story
Some pieces are created to carry the presence of a heart horse, a loyal pet, or a loved one. Others mark the milestones of an equestrian life—an engagement, a championship, a legacy carried forward.
Whatever your story, Verstara transforms it into fine jewelry designed to last a lifetime. These are not fill-in-the-blank designs. Every piece has been carefully shaped and refined to protect your inclusions—or shine boldly on its own.
Not Just Jewelry
Wearing Verstara is more than owning fine jewelry. It’s an experience—of peace, of connection, of elevated living. Each piece carries meaning that only you know, yet it radiates a quiet luxury that others can’t help but notice.
Difference
Because your memories deserve more than ordinary.
- Crafted exclusively in fine metals and stones
- Designed by an equestrian, for equestrians
- Exclusive designs you won’t find anywhere else (well, there are some Verstara copies out there!)
- Handled with reverence, built to last a lifetime
Verstara is where meaning meets perfection—fine jewelry that carries your story with quiet strength and timeless beauty.
It would be my honor
