Slow craft, small batch, and artisan-made may be over used terms, but they’re accurate descriptors of what Beth Aimée does. Starting with simple materials: a sheet of metal, some wire, a pair of dividers and a jeweler’s saw, she begins to create, employing centuries-old silversmithing techniques. Beth’s pieces retain visual evidence of the work process. The hammer marks, the slight variations record a history of the process and tell a story of the work. These imperfections are testaments to the character of modern heirlooms, crafted by hand.

 Beth is a Montanan, living and working in a small town nestled in the Absaroka Mountains. She hikes on backcountry trails with fields of wildflowers, rocky peaks, and occasional grizzly bear or moose sightings. She starts her day with a morning walk along the Yellowstone River. All of this grandeur seeps into her jewelry designs. This special place nourishes Beth’s soul in a way that sparks the creativity that defines her work.
