meet: Beth Lawrence. 
Creator of
Freshie & Zero

               
 

 
Hello. I am Beth, a.k.a. "Freshie". I wish there was an exciting story about how I got my nickname, but there isn't really. A few years ago, my manager at work just thought it rhymed with "Bethie" so she started calling me that and it wasn't long before my coworkers and friends adopted my new name as well. Zero is my Jack Russell Terrier and yes, he's totally nuts. I am a wife, a mom, and an independent designer who is loving every minute of growing my business.

I strive to create jewelry that is simple and feminine, modern yet classic. I tend to use basic geometric shapes and I constantly push myself to create new ways of making a unique piece of jewelry out of these basic forms. Each piece is handcrafted using a hammer and wire and the end result is a mix of delicate sophistication and bold elegance, from the dainty wire outlines to the more solid silver hammered discs. Occasionally I add touches of semi-precious gemstones or pearls, and have started doing more wire wrapping to add touches of delicate and edgy irregularity.
