Born Vera Gottliebe Anna Gräfin von Lehndorff-Steinort in East Prussia, the German countess was discovered at 20 years old while studying art in Florence, and soon after decamped to New York City where she changed her name from Vera to Veruschka and became one of—if not the most—in-demand supermodels of the decade, regularly appearing in the pages of Vogue and lensed by greats such as David Bailey, Irving Penn and Richard Avedon.⠀.⠀.⠀.⠀#valerydemure #jewellery #fashionjewelry #finejewellery #contemporarydesign #jewelry #luxury #objetdemotion #handmade #instagood #designerjewellery #fashionjewellery #jewellerycollector #jewel #jewels #artisan #craftsmanship
