About Verlas
Shopping for jewelry online has its advantages, but they’re often shrouded by insecurity and fussy, frustrating returns. Luckily, Verlas, an online high-end jewelry retailer, was created as a luxury buying experience that bypasses all these issues. It merges the perks of browsing at your favorite retail store with the convenience of shopping online.
Its model is transparent, while its diamonds are sustainable, ethical, and impeccably high in quality, as each diamond is handpicked for optimum brilliance to best fit the design of the jewelry it will be set in. Despite that fact, and that Verlas’ artisans have worked for Tiffany’s and Cartier and are obsessed with producing high-quality jewelry, they offer their pieces without designer markups.
As you might imagine, this approach has drawn a lot of attention. Not only does the brand have a social community of 33k+, but buzzworthy outlets like Forbes, Business Insider, The New York Times, CNN, Brides, and many other notable publications have featured it for its fine jewelry and bridal collections. News sources also love its Try-at-Home program and personalized concierge services.
If you’re wondering how the company can pull this all off, be sure to check out this Verlas review. I’ll tell you everything you need to know about Verlas, including its bestsellers, customer feedback, promotions, and more.
Overview Of Verlas
In 2019, founder and CEO, Nidhi Dangayach and her co-founding partner, Nityani Riziya decided that the way we shop for diamonds needed an upgrade. So they cherry-picked the best parts of luxury jewelry shopping and sprinkled in everything else (like transparency, affordable options, and the at-home try-on) that was so desperately sought after.
Based in Manhattan, New York, Verlas has transformed the online jewelry shopping into what shoppers have long craved it should be. Its transparent sales model shows you the cost of materials versus labor and duties and then compares it to competitors. Needless to say, the final cost rings up to a lot less at the quality you aspire. Verlas’ clients root the brand for the overall experience and value, and a client once shared, “Everything about the experience was lovely and the bracelet is gorgeous. Up until now, my wife would only wear Cartier. She is make an exception for the tennis bracelet form Verlas, and, I suspect, will make more exceptions in the future.”
But its gorgeous, affordable jewelry isn’t the only reason to buy from Verlas. Its pieces are also certified as sustainable and ethical by Positive Luxury. As you can probably tell, there’s a ton to unpack in this Verlas review, so let’s get to it. First, we’ll go over the highlights.

Just as there’s more to a diamond than its sparkle, there’s more to this Verlas review than the highlights. While the brand has a gorgeous array of engagement rings and fine jewelry in its catalog, coming up, I’ll show you a sampling of its show-stopping designs.
And speaking of samplings, Verlas lets you try on your favorite pieces at home before you buy—I know, my heart jumped for joy just then as well. So, you’ll get to try out your fave looks in fully customized samples (read: cubic zirconia replicas), then order your preferred designs.
Pretty cool, right? Well, that’s just one of the many ways Verlas cares for its customers, and you’ll find a few others throughout this Verlas review. For now, let’s get on with the jewelry.
Verlas Jewelry Review
I’ll start this section of my Verlas review off with a little fact: all of the brand’s diamonds are either SI or VS clarity and H or I in color (that’s pretty clear, btw). That explains why they’re so sparkly.
Ahead, I’ll tell you about a handful of its bestsellers—each available in 14K or 18k white, yellow, or rose gold. Some are also available in platinum.
And when it comes time to choose your perfect piece, you’ll also pick your carat preference. I’ve included a price range with each option below so you’ll know the low and high-end of what they’ll cost.
Verlas Captivating Necklace Review
Could there be a better name for this necklace? Whoever named the Captivating Necklace must have been staring at it for as long as I have been. Mesmerizing with no shortage of sparkle, you’ll take your pick from a total of ½, 1, or 1 ½ ct round diamonds, of which there are a total of 11 at the end of this tightly roped chain.
Hanging daintily around your neck on an adjustable 18”chain with a jump ring to shorten it to 16”, this beauty pairs wonderfully with other pieces but certainly draws attention all on its own. Need more length? Verlas offers chain extenders on request. Add it to your collection for $820-$3,947.
Verlas Round Embellished Band Review
I’ve always been a fan of pave diamond bands, so the Round Embellished Band stood out to me right away. Embedded with 18 sparkling stones around the top half of the band, these crystal-clear diamonds contrast beautifully against whichever metal strikes your fancy.
Choose from ⅓ or ½ Ct for every individual round stone. Prices range from just $495-$881 for this stunner, so go ahead and treat yourself or someone you love.
Verlas Round Solitaire Studs Review
Diamond studs are a timeless classic. You can wear them when you’re two or 102 years old and they’d look just as elegant. The Round Solitaire Studs come in seven carat options—from ⅙ to 2 Ct.
Set on a gold or platinum prong, there’s just one glittering diamond per earring, but boy, does it ever make an impact. Looking for timeless elegance? If so, you’ll find it in these studs for $378-$22,702.
Signature Princess Halo Ring Review
This ring will make you feel like a princess. With options for ⅓ up to 2 carats per diamond, this substantial ring is a real jaw-dropper. There’s a total of 57 diamonds around the Princess Halo Ring and in its prong, with the primary stone being a classic princess shape.
Whether you’re choosing this incredibly sparkly piece for an engagement ring or just because prices start as low as $703 and go up to $10,431.
Who Is Verlas’ Jewelry For?
Verlas makes diamond jewelry for those who love the sparkle but want to shop responsibly. Its collection of sustainable pieces is made even more appealing by its transparent pricing and no 10x markups.
Verlas Reviews: What Do Customers Think?
Verlas was created to make jewelry shopping better, so customer feedback is pretty crucial to this Verlas review. To find out what the brand is like to shop with, and what its pieces are really like, I set out in search of comments and ratings around the web.
The first place I looked was Verlas.com. Because the Captivating Necklace is incredibly…captivating, I dove into its comments section and found all 5/5-star reviews.
One customer left this glowing Verlas review: “The ordering experience was uncomplicated. The necklace arrived even faster than I expected. The quality definitely shows and the diamonds sparkle with every move. This is definitely a lifetime necklace, certain not to go out of style.”
It’s undeniable that the Captivating Necklace looks amazing, but it’s nice to read that it arrives quickly and that it’s indeed high-quality. Now, let’s look at some other pieces.
Just like the necklace, the Round Embellished Band has a 5/5 star score on the brand’s website, as does the Signature Princess Halo Ring. To find out if these kind of ratings are common for the brand, let’s click off of their site and check out some other sources.
While there isn’t a ton of independent feedback for this brand, there is a lot of buzz in popular publications like New York Magazine. In their article about the best fine jewelry you can buy online, an editor reviewed the Blossom Studs and Captivating Necklace. They wrote:
“The Verlas items are elegant and lovely, and truly easy to wear for two weeks. The studs are substantial without being too flashy, and feel very secure with their sturdy two-notch posts.”
Both the studs and the necklace are versatile pieces, meaning they’ll go with pretty much any outfit you own and you’ll get a lot of use out of them. With this in mind, it helps to know that they’re sturdy and high-quality. Another Verlas review on Reviews Bird echoed these sentiments. It reads:
“I am so happy that I opted for Verlas’ Try at home program. It was free of cost, the replicas were high quality and I found a ring I loved! Excellent customer service throughout the process. They even made sure I was happy with what I received.”
For a little more information, I checked out an in-depth Verlas review on a blog called Limelight Lane Style. After ordering and receiving trial pieces and then choosing the Blossom Stud Earrings, the writer said this:
“I am over the moon with these earrings as they sparkle like crazy! The diamond quality is incredible as even my engagement ring and band aren’t VS clarity. The ear nuts are very tight and I have no fear of losing an earring. In fact I sleep in them at night and don’t even notice I am wearing them.”
Overall, the same Verlas reviewer said that ordering from the brand was easy and customer service was “very timely with responses via email.” Basically, from all that I’ve read online, it really does appear that Verlas has transformed the jewelry-buying experience.
Is Verlas Legit?
Nothing I came across while writing this Verlas review would convince me otherwise. Verlas is 100% legit and a pleasure to shop with.
Is Verlas’ Jewelry Worth It?
Transparency is the newest trend in the jewelry industry, but for many companies, it’s just a fancy word they like to throw around. However, I was happy to find that Verlas truly is a transparent brand inside and out. And I love how thorough it details each of its products.
As if you needed more convincing, their gorgeous jewelry is incredibly affordable for its level of quality. For reference, let’s compare the Captivating Necklace to similar designs from competing brands.
- Verlas Captivating Necklace: 1/2 ct SI diamond, 18k gold $972
- Brilliant Earth Trio Diamond Necklace: 1/3 ct diamond, 18k gold $1,190
- VRAI Linked Tennis Necklace: 0.85 ct diamond 14k white gold $1,460
In addition to being more affordable than its competitors, Verlas offers at-home try-ons and free returns. Plus, it’s certified sustainable. In terms of jewelry brands you won’t want to pass up on, Verlas tops the list.
Verlas’ Promotions & Discounts
For the longest time, if you wanted to buy fine jewelry, you just swallowed the price tag and dealt with it. But nowadays it’s pretty cool that new-age jewelry brands are finding ways to make us and our wallets happy. And while writing this Verlas review, I was surprised to find out that the brand offers even more ways to help you save.
For starters, if you spend over $500, Verlas will give you $100 off. That’s pretty incredible, but the brand also has a referral program that gifts your pals (and you) $50 for each successful purchase. In addition, first-time returns are free and Verlas offers free resizing too.
