bybethany's Shop Announcement

Thank you for taking a peek my work. I am a woman of many talents, interests and outlets. My etsy shop is an showcase of just two of my loves: jewelry design and screen printing. Be sure to check back regularly, as I am constantly creating new work and posting it to my site!

shipping: All jewelry sales are shipped in a gift box, tied with a ribbon. All orders are promptly shipped First Class through the USPS.

about apparel:
The odd figures featured on my shirts are simply called creatures. I began drawing them as a child and they have since grown and evolved with me. They are kind and gentle, though at times mischievous, enjoy dancing, and are gregarious by nature. All designs are original, drawn and hand printed by Bethany Hayes-Chute. All designs are printed on garments made in the United States.

about jewelry:
All of the pieces I create are original, one of a kind designs. I have extremely high standards for quality of materials, workmanship and technique. I use only Sterling Silver or Fine Silver findings and materials, never base metal, surgical steel or silver plated. In instances of gold findings and materials, I use either 14K Gold-Fill or 22k Gold Vermeil.

. . . . . ...a few thoughts on jewelry...

I make jewelry as homage to the human body, intimacy and color.

I make jewelry in the name of grace, glamour, simplicity and charm. I treat every piece of jewelry I make as a work of art.

I believe that a successful piece is one that begs to be held and adored. I believe that jewelry should not only be beautiful, but commanding of respect, satisfying to the wearer, and deserving of the privilege to adorn one’s body.

My hands cannot resist the simple perfection of a bead: smooth, round, glowing; infinitely variable and effortlessly intriguing.

The focus, thought and care I put into each piece is very personal and involved. My hands thank me for the activity- my mind thanks me for the stillness and calm. In the end I am rewarded with a nearly perfect little package that sprawls gently on my palm.
