Category: Jewelry
In Her Own Words: "Without being overly fussy or trendy, my jewelry can be worn with a beloved pair of jeans to that sexy little black dress. It is often the case that the most expressive elements are found perfectly placed in the smallest and subtlest of details. I believe that jewelry can reflect the inner style and everyday beauty of each person."
News: Check out Seattle designer Amy Bengston's summer jewerly line, now available for online purchase. Customize your necklace with your choice of gold or silver plated etched brass and one of four different wood backings.
