Please Note: Monday the 19th is your last day to order for shipping in the U.S. in time for Christmas (20th if shipping to California). Mahalo!
Well, we finally launched Bettybelts.com with integrated shop so now you don’t need to leave the website to get your goods. Much easier that way! Many Mahalos to our friends at Essential Surf for filling our web orders all these years. They will continue to carry key pieces in the line, so if you need a surfboard bag and a wave necklace, you can get them in the same order there.
We will now be shipping directly from our headquarters in Ventura, California, just four blocks from the ocean. This means more choices, more personalized service and free stoke and ocean breezes are always included.
You can now find all three brands in one place, easily found by price, material and style: Betty Belts, Betty B. and DvH Signature Designs. DvH is new and is a collection of my higher end pieces including sea glass and sterling silver. Coming soon: The DvH Red Carpet Collection, some very special sea glass showstoppers that are truly one of a kind. Take a sneak peek at one of these, the Mermaid Necklace.
Come see the new styles previously unavailable on the website including my sea glass mini pendants, sea glass rings and brooches and upcycled surfboard resin jewelry!
If you read this far, you ROCK! So your reward is a 15% discount off your entire order when you use the code BRANDNEW at checkout (expires 12.31.11). Enjoy!
Smiles and Aloha from Ventura,

Wow, it’s not every day the founders of Surfaid International walk into your shop.
What an honor it was to meet Dr. Dave and Randall! Surfaid has been one of my favorite orgs to give to over the years for the amazing work they do preventing Malaria and especially after the Tsunami in Indo. David and I, along with Robb Havassy, attended the SA Fundraiser in Malibu last night. I got to meet Donovan Frankenreiter and his beautiful family and hear him perform for the first time in more than 5 years. They sounded just brilliant! What an amazing day to be followed by another amazing day: today. Read about this here on David’s Blog.

But first, I will be at the Stewart+Brown Sample Sale, selling my samples and seconds at my table there.

Hello Ocean Lovers!
I have been designing sea glass jewelry for three years now, but failed to mention it much here on the blog. I’ve been told by many that I need to share this part of my art more widely, so please enjoy the pictures below and let me know if you have any questions about them.
We are in the process of re-doing the website and soon you will find more frequent updates and many new styles of double bezel set designs in sea glass pendants, earrings, bracelets and rings in many sizes and colors!
Check out the Betty Belts Facebook Page for more frequent updates, inspiration, ocean love and opportunities to win your own ocean-inspired accessories!
