Jewelry cleaning & maintenance tips and also... Introducing our new ultra suede eco friendly jewelry pouches to keep your jewelry sparkly and clean!

CARE AND CLEANING

• For quick results, use a polishing cloth on HIGH POLISH pieces.
  Do NOT use the polishing cloth on MATTE finish pieces.
  

• Toothpaste with a toothbrush will work wonders for a quick clean.
  

• For best results, use any standard liquid or paste jewelry cleaner. Follow the
  directions on the jewelry cleaner container and MAKE SURE TO RINSE WELL.
  

• We don't recommend putting pearl or beaded jewelry in the jewelry cleaner.
  

• You may always send your Betsy Frost Design jewelry to us for cleaning. We will
  clean your jewelry free of charge and mail it back to you. Please mail your jewelry in a box--not a padded envelope or regular envelope.

Behind The Scenes at Betsy Frost Design

Betsy was born and raised in North Bennington Vermont and spends a few weekends there every summer to be with her mother and siblings. Some of these weekend trips were spent creating lifestyle photo sessions of her fall jewelry collections.  Betsy hails from a large family - 10 siblings!  This summer she was lucky enough to have some of her family participate in the modeling and photography.

It’s a Family Affair…

Betsy’s niece Eve has a natural ease in front of the camera wearing our Small Acorn Collection. Eve’s mom Laura (and Betsy’s youngest sister) captures the camera lens with her beauty, modeling our Caged Stone Collection. Eric van den Brulle (Laura’s husband and Eve’s father) is our creative director and photographer and can be seen here behind the camera.

From The Bench…

Meet Kim of Betsy Frost Design

Some of you have had the pleasure of meeting Kim at the shop. If you have not, Kim has been with Betsy Frost Design for about 8 years. She’s always had an interest in creating things with her hands. In school, she even took wood shop and loved working with wood and stained glass. She eventually studied silversmithing, and joined our team to learn even more, working alongside Betsy at the Studio & Gallery in downtown Ipswich, MA.

She can solder anything together and is the first assistant to help Betsy make her prototypes. Fearless, she accepts any challenge thrown her way! Kim can also get a perfect polish on our fine silver and quality jewelry. Kim even showed us her “secret” stash spot for candy at the work bench! Come by and visit the shop sometime and you will have the pleasure of meeting her in person.
