i'm Colleen
In 2011, I lost a very special horse named Seaver, I didn't realize it then, but that was the moment that catapulted me into a fulfilling career of helping other horse owners heal. I created a simple bracelet for his previous owner and myself, and from there Verstara began. For several years I offered bracelets and neckalces to those mourning their own lost heart horse, and in 2017 I began designing and creating horsehair rings, and custom pieces.
As a natural progression, I started to work with turquoise, diamonds and hand engraving as a way to offer new pieces to those who want something special, well made but not necessarily memorial style. Creating western influenced jewelry that's also investment pieces has lit a fire under me!
I hope that no matter what your looking for, that you find the quality of craftsmanship and style of the Verstara jewelry to be exactly what you need!
