THE DIRT

Betsy has always loved art and fashion and has been making jewelry since she was a teenager. She is inspired by the unexpected, a twig, a button, any object can spark an idea. Betsy is heavily influenced by street fashion, noticing trends, but incorporating only the parts that are true to her personal style.

Betsy studied art formally at the Rhode Island School of Design and started her own business in San Francisco a year after graduation.

Using 18K yellow and rose gold as well as silver, she views the creation of jewelry as her art medium and strives to create pieces that will be handed down for generations.
