IIIMemory in GoldMémoire en Or

Lan Vera began with a simple memory: my grandmother's adjustable gold bracelet from Northern Vietnam. Like the traditional bracelets offered to newborns and made to grow with them, it carried a quiet sense of protection, heritage, and transmission — the spirit that now inspires every Lan Vera creation.

We believe jewelry is not merely ornament — it is memory made tangible. Each piece we create bridges two traditions: the patient artistry of Vietnamese craftspeople who have shaped jade and gold for millennia, and the architectural clarity of French haute joaillerie.

From our atelier in Paris, we craft pieces in premium vermeil — 925 sterling silver with 18k gold at 5 microns — honoring both the material integrity of fine jewelry and the Vietnamese craft tradition of beauty made accessible.

Lan is my Vietnamese first name. Vera is my last name. This brand carries my full name — and everything it means.

The Lan Vera Way

Crafted with intention. Worn with meaning.

◈

Handcrafted Heritage

Every piece is shaped by artisans trained in the centuries-old goldsmithing traditions of Hanoi and Paris — no two pieces are ever exactly alike.

Premium Vermeil

We choose 925 sterling silver with 18k gold at 5 microns — twice the legal minimum, hallmarked fine jewelry that wears beautifully for decades when cared for properly.

Living Stories

Each collection carries a narrative thread — a poem, a place, a memory. We believe the jewelry you wear should be able to tell a story when you're gone.

Why Vermeil

Why Vermeil?

There is a long tradition in Vietnamese craft of making the extraordinary accessible — of taking a humble material and elevating it through skill, patience, and an uncompromising eye for beauty. Vermeil, at its finest, embodies exactly this principle. We choose 925 sterling silver as our base because it is the standard of hallmarked fine jewelry — not fashion, not plating over brass or copper, but a precious metal in its own right. Over this, we plate 18k gold at 5 microns: twice the legal minimum, applied with the care of goldsmiths who understand that the weight of a piece is not only in its material, but in the hands that made it.

Vermeil is our honest answer to a question the luxury industry too often avoids: how do you make something truly beautiful without excluding the people who care most about beauty? Our customers are Vietnamese diaspora women who grew up watching their grandmothers wear solid gold as a store of value, a dowry, a lifeline. They understand the weight of gold — its meaning, not just its market price. Vermeil allows them, and you, to wear something that carries that heritage without the solid-gold price point. It is not a compromise. It is a considered choice.

Every piece in the Mémoire Collection is hallmarked, certified, and comes with a full material disclosure. We believe you should know exactly what you are wearing — and be proud of it. 925 sterling silver. 18k gold. 5 microns. Handcrafted by Vietnamese artisans. This is premium jewelry. Not despite the vermeil. Because of it.
