February Event with Wild West Darlin’

Amy Beveridge is a Pacific Northwest Native and has been creating beautiful one-of-a-kind sterling silver and turquoise jewelry for nearly a decade.  Amy is an avid hiker and incorporates the breathtaking views of the Pacific Northwest as inspiration for her work.  A talented silversmith, Amy is self-taught and designs and creates all her own work. She has manifested a beautiful business that focuses on her customers and she hopes every person who wears her jewelry feels excited and special.

Each piece of handcrafted silver is intricately designed to highlight the sincerity of the stone. With the integrity of the stone in mind, Amy manipulates the silver with tanks of flammable gases to create her radiating designs. Amy says, “When a person is drawn toward a particular piece it speaks to the energy of that person.” She adds, “It’s more than jewelry or a statement piece; to me, it’s about connecting to a piece you want to wear every day. They’re livable.”

Amy believes crystals and stones vibrate at a much higher rate than humans do. She says, “When around certain stones, a person’s vibrational rate is affected.” Amy says this is what causes the pleasant, peaceful reaction people experience when looking at stones; and why people are drawn to a particular stone. This is what Amy regards as her main inspiration when it comes to making jewelry. She sees the connection when someone is drawn to a certain piece.

Amy gets her stones from all over; always being sure to get the very best. Like us, Amy supports local businesses and sellers that keep a small, old-time feel. At Desperado Boutique Amy will showcase stones from one of the longest-running turquoise mine fields.

 

Silversmith, Amy Beveridge, will be joining us at Desperado for our February First Friday.  On Friday, February 7th from 2-7 and on Saturday from 11-4.
