Message from Founder

When your parents are geologist and gemologist, it’s hard not to learn from their jewelry business. They taught me how to value and source the best rubies, sapphires, pearls, jades, crystals and other gemstones and fashion jewelry started at the age of 8. Slowly our business went from selling through kiosks in shopping malls to building in-house production facilities and expanding the business internationally.

Over the years, however, I’ve seen tens of thousands pieces of jewelry pilling in the storeroom unsold and eventually tarnished. Since most of the fashion jewelries were made with alloy and plating, there was no easy way of refurbishing them. Seeing so much wasted resources made me want to change the way companies manufacture products and the way people consume. I think consumers should invest in quality jewelry, because precious metals are more sustainable to work with and they could last forever. Pure gold and silver can be easily melted, refined and recrafted. The way to improve the environmental footprint of our jewelry is to take care of its afterlife, so we do not need to extract more minerals. While others are striving for eco-friendly products by using recyclable packaging or recycled materials, at V!Z we strive to build a full-service platform that gives you direct access to fashion, recycling and the rebuilding process. We want you to be part of a meaningful impact that is hassle free for you- without the need to go to a sketchy “we buy gold” shop. Furthermore, we want to deliver high quality products in affordable prices by going direct to consumer.
