Jewelry designer Becky Kelso believes in following her heart, instead following what's hip. Kelso was working on becoming a costume designer, studying illustration and fashion design at the Fashion Institute in Southern California. However, during the two years she spent living in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, Kelso began to explore the art of jewelry making.

Serving as apprentice to a jeweler and silversmith in Mexico, Becky Kelso quickly learned the tricks of the trade and debuted her own collection in 1995.

The beauty in Becky Kelso's designs is rooted in her life. Her education, frequent travels, and upbringing in a family who appreciate art - all these important elements influence the creation of her jewelry collection. Fascinated at an early age by her mother's and grandmother's antique jewelry, Becky now uses colorful gemstones to creative timeless pieces that feel like heirlooms the minute you put them on.
Becky's designs utilize many jewelry techniques to create her intricate jewelry designs, including fabricating, engraving, granulation, casting, forging, and wire wrapping. Her designs come in sterling silver, 14k and 18k yellow and rose Gold. Her collection includes floral-carved, faceted, and rose-cut stones such as Pink Tourmaline, Aquamarine, and Rubies, often set in Lacy
bezels. The overall appearance is delicate, feminine and timeless.See full article.Related Entries:
