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. The daughter of internationally renowned film producer, Walter J. Klein, Ms. Klein had the unique opportunity to grow up traveling around the world learning about various cultures, experiencing ranges of art from the Louvre in Paris to artists in huts 100 miles from civilization in remote areas of East Africa.  In many cases, the jewelry was a reflection of their heritage and left a lifelong influence to her art.  Her early studies began at the Mint Museum of Art at age 7, continued through the School of Art & Design at Stephens College, studying under artists such as international known sculptor Rudi Torrini and at the Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts.Ms. Klein established Betsy Klein Jewelry as a custom design entity to allow women to showcase their personalities through wearable art. She strongly believes that jewelry is a definitive statement of a woman’s personality.

Inspired to create luxury, sophistication and empowerment in each new design, Ms. Klein searches the globe for the highest quality gems. Her inventory of precious and semi precious gems, along with organic materials such as fresh water pearls, lends a palette to create jewelry that elicits beauty, passion and excitement.

Jewelry design, according to Betsy Klein, “is a harmonious relationship between the customer and the materials. The BJK collection serves to bring refinement and fun to women of all ages. It is been my personal mission to help women empower themselves and to manifest that mission. Wear it and feel great!”
