ARTIST STATEMENT
HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE
My name is Roni Rose and I am the owner and lead designer of Vekasy's Fine Costume Jewelry & Accessories LLC.
I started designing jewelry in 1999, primarily for myself, and as holiday gifts for my family and friends. But, when several people began complimenting me on various creations and inquired about placing orders with me - I decided to launch Vekasy's in 2002.
People often ask me where the name Vekasy's originated. Basically, since this is a family-owned business, I combined the first two initials of my name VE and of my two daughters KA, SY's to create this very special name.
For the most part, I am a self-taught artist who used a wonderful host of books, videos and reference manuals to learn various beading and wire techniques. In an effort to expand my overall jewelry knowledge, I attended The Learning Annex and Gemological Institute of America (GIA) where I earned certificates in Introduction to Jewelry Making, Colored Stone Essentials, Diamond Essentials and Jewelry Essentials
I love designing jewelry and accessories, it allows me to create unique pieces that you will use often, appreciate, and remember for years to come. I believe that jewelry defines each person's style and personality. That's why my creations range from elegant, created especially for special occasions -- to casual, just right for jeans or casual wear.
My goal is to design and create beautiful, high quality, "Fine Costume Jewelry & Accessories" at affordable prices.
