Inspiration comes from my gardens, the ever-changing light on the ocean, the seascapes that surround me…anywhere colors collide in nature.

"Exploring the qualities of glass and color are what drive my work; using light and transparency in surprising ways along with layering color on color helps me to create unusual contemporary beads and jewelry. Inspiration comes from my gardens, the ever-changing light on the ocean, the seascapes that surround me…anywhere colors collide in nature. Pure silver and gold accents add a final tactile quality, allowing my pieces to be as interesting to touch and view as they are to wear." - Beth Williams

Beth Williams Lampwork Glass Jewelry nosegay sculptures

Explore my Online Collection … coming soon!

In the same way that every seashell is different, I am continually reinventing my classic designs with new inspiration taken from nature. From orbits to trapeze, tribals, and petals, every piece offers new potential. I’m even deeply fascinated by the lampworking opportunities offered by making nosegay sculptures. These new works will be available in coming months in my new online shop. Sign up for my newsletter for early access.

New Garden Studio
