Betsy Klein, a native to Charlotte, North Carolina looks at jewelry through the lenses of different art mediums. Her background consists of extensive studies in painting, photography, ceramics and furniture design. Each piece of the Betsy Klein Collection is the embodiment of empowerment, luxury, and sophistication. The cascading waterfall of gems from across the world serves as the color palette for her wearable art. Her creative inspirations are drawn upon different cultures, natural landscapes, and movement. She views her work as an explosion of color with soft and delicate nuances. Each piece of her collection rests on the body with warmth and confidence. It is Betsy’s mission to bring forth the beauty of these brilliant gems with the elegance of its owners.

Inspired to create luxury, sophistication and empowerment in each new design, Ms. Klein searches the globe for the highest quality gems.

From delicate to bold, Betsy can design custom jewelry for any bride to wear on her very special day.
