Welcome to the EarthWorth Jewels Gallery
Unique designs with inlaid stones on sterling silver sheet made exclusively by
Beate Degen
Dear Customers and Friends,
Hurray ...!!! the Bellingham Farmers Market is open again.
It is important for me to emphasize that this is a one woman business. My online presence is limited because there is only so much time a day and most of it I like creating work and spending time with family and friends and outside . ( not in front of a computer.) Come to the market, e-mail me, or call me for direct consultation.
Even if a piece is marked as sold, I can create a similar piece again or send you pictures of my most recent work which is always changing.
EVERY PIECE IS HANDMADE BY ME AND SO EACH ONE IS UNIQUE .
To see where I am showing my art please visit the " Events" button. ( go to MORE.. Click on Events)
stay healthy and happy
warm regards
Beate Degen

BEATE DEGENOver the last 30+ years Beate Degen has been refining her jewelry craft. The journey initially began in the early 1980's in Central and South America when Beate was first introduced to inlaid jewelry and the use of other natural products such as bamboo, porcupine quills, and sea urchin spine. She initially learned the basics from the natives and has continued perfecting the ancient art of inlaid jewelry. It has been her sole livelihood.
Her jewelry today is known throughout the Pacific Northwest for its unique one of a kind combination of hand wiring, beautiful unique beading, and most of all the intricate inlaid designs on sterling silver sheet. Her jewelry has been promoted in galleries, arts and crafts fairs, as well as locally at the Bellingham Farmer's Market. She designs earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, each unique and handcrafted. Beate acquires her beading and materials through her travels as well as sourced from high quality vendors across the globe. She now lives in Bellingham, WA and has been an active part of the artist community for over 20 years. |
