Already love a VELA piece but want to select a different stone, change the metal, or adjust the size? We’re happy work with you to make it uniquely yours. Get in touch—we’d love to bring your vision to life.
Many of our pieces are one-of-a-kind creations and may not be restocked once sold out. However if you are interested in a specific item that is no longer available, please do not hesitate to contact vela@velajewellers.com to discuss crafting a similar piece for you.
Please be aware that our prices may change at any time without prior notice, as they are influenced by factors such as fluctuations in market rates for materials such as gold and diamonds. We kindly note that price adjustments post-sale are not offered.
At VELA, we believe in giving our clients the freedom to choose what feels right to them and therefore we offer both lab-grown and mined options. The details for each piece on our website are provided to reflect the materials used. We are here to help bring your vision to life.
At VELA Jewellers, we believe that jewellery is deeply personal. Lab-grown diamonds offer the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as mined diamonds—and they’re every bit as beautiful and enduring. For many of our clients, the value lies not just in origin, but in what the piece represents. That’s why we offer both lab-grown and mined options, so you can choose what feels most meaningful to you.
Because lab diamond technology is still relatively new, the jewellery industry is still evolving in how it assigns value to them. As a result, lab and mined diamond prices may fluctuate, and we cannot guarantee their future resale value. However, by embracing innovation, we’re proud to offer diamonds that are both exceptional in quality and more accessible—so you can create something timeless, without compromise.
We use certified diamonds in our pieces. Our lab-grown diamonds are IGI Certified, meaning they are graded and verified by the International Gemological Institute, one of the world's leading independent gem certification bodies. Mined diamonds are certified by either IGI or GIA. Most of our pieces come with the corresponding certificate when the diamonds used are 0.75 carat in size or larger. This ensures each piece you purchase from VELA meets high standards of authenticity, quality, and ethical sourcing.
