About me:
This Betty Jo is NOT one of the sisters on the sitcom, Petticoat Junction.
She is a jewellery designer that recycles peoples discarded domestic bric a brac ,and creates unique wearables with the memories lovingly attached. With her charmingly-quirky designs gracing the pages of nearly every Australian fashion mag worth its name, it seems we just can't get enough of this Melbourne-based designer.
Perhaps most famous for her handmade retro-look owl brooches, Miss Betty Jo's jewellery really is the ultimate in creativity. Crafty, and cute-as-a-button (um, literally - as most of them utilise actual buttons to varying degrees).
Inspired by nature, kitsch and all things enchanting, Betty Jo's designs are individually created from completely recycled materials including retro lino, laminex, doilies, and other bits and pieces from her grandma's old sewing box.
You can't help but be charmed by all the colour and wonder of her bric-a-brac world. Her latest range of brooches is like thrift shop kitsch come to life on your collar, including lamps, teapots, old telephones, cuckoo clocks, handbags, coats and a deliciously whole lot more.
Like the best little golden books, these sweet beauties will always leave you with a smile on your face.
