Vanyanís Corset Busk Jewellery Set (Silver or Gold)
JewelleryWe put this set together for those that desire the ultimate package for our corset themed jewellery. With the delightful pendant and earrings you can wear part of a corset every day. The complete set is your very own token to symbolize your love of corsets that you can wear anytime, in any occasion whether to work or a special event. Because they are so sleek and understated, they are suitable for any occasion. The unique pendants (featured in the necklace and earrings) are made with our original Engraved Corset Busk loops, that have been handcrafted in Melbourne and transformed into the elegant jewellery you see here. Available in "silver" or "gold" (see tabs below for further information).
The loops have been expertly engraved with a two-tone antique black laurel design (reminiscent of Victorian corset details) and then transformed into a pendant (complete with sterling silver or 9ct yellow gold loop) and earrings (with solid sterling silver or 9ct yellow gold hooks hooks) by a talented jeweller. The silver pendant hangs on a delicate 50cm ‘Figaro’ sterling silver chain that adds detail, without detracting from the pendant. (Please note: the gold set does NOT include a chain). Whether you wear them as a whole set, or style them with jewellery you already have – the choice is yours with these unique, handmade pieces of luxury.
We wear our set everyday and several people have asked if the pendants are love lockets, as the cut out shape is similar to a keyhole. Isn't that lovely? Our customer Emmelie said (on receiving her necklace) "I love how it must look quite mysterious to a non-corset wearer: it's obviously a very deliberate, even utilitarian shape - but what of?! I can't wait to be asked about it."
This set is beautifully presented in a branded black jewellery box, making it the perfect gift for yourself or a loved one. Make every day a luxury, with Vanyanís Corset Jewellery.

Vanyanís Engraved Busk – Gold
Engraved BusksOur busks are made in Germany and then engraved by hand in Melbourne (Australia)!
Inspired by the antique corsets of the Victorian era, these original Engraved Busks are created by Vanyanís and are the first of their kind in about 100 years! These high quality German 'silver' stainless steel busks have been carefully engraved with a delicate gold laurel leaf design on each loop of the busk. The gold laurel comes up beautifully. It's not as bold as the black, but a little more subtle and very delicate. They're perfect if you're just wanting to add a little extra detail without being too 'showy'. (For a super subtle effect consider the silver engraving.)
Using the very best of modern technology the pretty laurels come up crisp and clear on each loop and do not rub off or wear away. They are the perfect finishing touch for your special corset, whether you're recreating an antique design or just love luxurious little details in your corsetry. Engraved Busks are not made anywhere else in the world - they are unique to Vanyanís and now available to you! We can't possibly make corsets for everyone so have made these available to everyone so that anyone can enjoy these very special busks.
For more information about our busks check out the 'tabs' below.
Ruby Underbust Corset
Ready to Wear, CorsetsThe Ruby Underbust Corset is a luxurious, limited edition design from our first ready-to-wear corset collection. Featuring exquisite black lace that has been carefully cut and sewn to best accentuate your curves. The lace is laid over a deep red satin and the corset is bound with a decadent silk duchess binding and laces up with a soft satin ribbon.
One of the trademark features of a Vanyanís corset is the sleek silhouette and smooth, wrinkle-free finish on the fabric. The Ruby Corset is made with the best materials we could find (including a European coutil strength layer, German steel black busk and the most luxurious satin ribbon lacing). It has 30 spiral and flat steel bones, but still feels 'light' to wear as the quality fabrics provide strength and support without being bulky. (For those that love details, check out the ‘Corset Details’ tab below for all specifications on this corset.)
The Ruby Corset is cut to frame your bust and features a high back for a smooth silhouette. The corset comes with a structured modesty panel that is easily removable without having to unlace the corset (we used snaps!). Each corset comes in a beautiful branded box, perfect for gifting to yourself or a loved one. Click here to view a video showcasing the details.
The level of care and attention-to-detail that has gone into this making collection has resulted in an exceptional corset that will make you feel incredible.
PLEASE NOTE: The very last corset from this collection, a size 22, does not have a modesty panel included. The price has been adjusted to reflect this. This item is on "clearance" and cannot be returned as per our policies.
