Bethany Piermantier, owner of Natural Beauty Jewelry, is fascinated by natural gemstones and pearls and feels they are mysteriously beautiful. She lets the beauty of the materials inspire each design and draws ideas from the latest styles and trends. She likes to incorporate eco-friendly materials such as bamboo, wood and coconut shell into her designs. “I am always designing new items, learning new techniques, and fulfilling special requests from my customers as best I can,” says Beth.

I have always been the type of person who likes to keep busy with their hands. From an early age, I embraced any activity that allowed me to be creative and to produce a beautiful end product that I (and others) can appreciate and admire. I think I naturally gravitated towards those that could be worn – jewelry. From there, designing jewelry naturally became a creative outlet that I was drawn to.

I taught myself how to make jewelry about 10 years ago and gave away finished pieces to friends and family. I took a jewelry class in high school and fell in love with all of the tools and techniques that can be combined to create anything you can imagine. Continuing to make jewelry throughout college, I obtained a degree in Business Administration and in 2007 launched into selling my own designs through Natural Beauty Jewelry. I am dedicated to providing quality handmade jewelry created from semi-precious gemstones, freshwater pearls, sterling silver, and other natural materials. I love what I do and I pour my heart into it!

Some of my favorite experiences within my profession have been seeing people wear my jewelry. Jewelry is a personal item that represents who you are as an individual and the fact that someone has identified with my work is a huge compliment.

My best selling items include a collection of Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelets that come in an assortment of patterns and sizes. They are easy to put on and you can mix and match them to create a bangle feel. The Turquoise Dangle Earrings, Assorted Stone Necklace, and my new Black and White Collection have also been very popular items. All of my jewelry is packaged in recycled paper gift boxes and all hook earrings come with a pair of free rubber earring backs as well. I provide special services such as custom sizing, custom designed bridal jewelry and jewelry repair.

My plans for the future include diversifying my product line to include new and different materials, bangles, rings, and one-of-a-kind items. I hope to expand the availability of Natural Beauty Jewelry to specialty shops and boutiques who feel my work is right for their customers.
