Freshie and Zero

Beth, a.k.a. "Freshie," would love to whittle away at a fascinating story about how she got her nickname, but there isn't really an exciting yarn to spin. A zealous manager thought it rhymed well with Bethie, so a Jack Russell Terrier named Zero later, and you have handcrafted jewelry that wears the name Freshie and Zero well.

Beth started her jewelry career at about 10 or 11 using "friendly plastic," a popular crafting material of the 80's.  Handmade earrings peddled up and down her street out of a classic caboodle for a few dollars per pair started the ball rolling, eventually even selling her niche jewelry to a local boutique.

A few years later, Freshie began supporting herself solely off jewelry, with over 30 craft shows, new wholesale accounts and cross-country selling to boot. Every Freshie and Zero jewelry piece is simple and feminine, modern yet classic and uses basic geometric shapes to create new ways of making a unique piece of jewelry out of these basic forms.
