5 out of 5 starsThese are my go-to earrings for most outfits right now. They are light (don't weigh down my ears) and they hang and dangle just right. The part that goes through your ear is very pliable so you have to be careful not to bend it out of shape or pull on it. I really like the style of these earrings.

5 out of 5 starsThese earrings are amazing. They are lightweight, stylish and have quickly become my go to earrings. I have bought a number of items from Bev and I've never been disappointed.

Creative living every day
For as long as I can remember, I have always loved making jewelry. From beads using strips of magazines and fimo, to safety bin bracelets, to seed bead flowers, I have dabbled in different mediums since childhood.
I began metalsmithing in 2011, under the direction of Boston artist Laurie Savage. During this time, my aesthetic has transformed as I have honed in on my skills and interests. The jewelry that I am now making is officially debuting online in late May 2016.
Since I began learning how to metalsmith, I have been fascinated by the look of hammered silver. It amazes me how a process that is both harsh and random can lead to something so beautiful and feminine.
I believe in creating pieces that are feminine and elegant, yet functional and can be easily worn every day. I also aim to be as environmentally-friendly as possible, work primarily with recycled sterling silver and using packaging made from recycled materials.
I work primarily out of my home studio in Somerville, MA, just outside of Boston. I am a work-from-home/stay-at-home mom of a creative and wonderful 2-year-old, Eve. I do my work in spurts, in the early morning hours before my family wakes up, while she naps, and on the weekends.
I believe passionately in living creatively and believe it is an important outlet that allows me to stay sane. In addition to making jewelry, I am a blogger, freelance writer, and author of the book, The Busy Mom's Guide to Creativity (available on Amazon).
