Out on the foreign coasts, beachcombers sort through sand and rock for treasures such as sea glass and precious shells, bottle them away, and ship their finds to a boutique nestled in the heart of downtown Ventura. During the holidays, a line down the street leads up to Betty Belts, a jewelry shop dedicated to creating unique sea glass and resin pieces. For partners, family members and friends looking for a special gift this holiday season, follow along for an easy gift guide sure to glamourize your receiver.
Betty Belts is an experience. The main part of the shop is a plethora of necklaces, rings and bracelets, reflecting vibrant colors across their panoramic windows. Although breathtaking, newcomers can easily become overwhelmed.
The workers, all Betty connoisseurs themselves, are amiable and ready to help. My advice is to locate one and tell them exactly what you’re looking for. If you don’t know what that is yet, try these suggestions.
Pendants:
All of their pendants come with a simple silver chain or colored thread, however, they can be elevated for an
additional cost.
Mermaid Tear Sea Glass Charm: $28
Simple, affordable and in many colors, this charm is perfect for buyers who aren’t sure what their recipient is looking for.
Classic Pearl Charm Necklace: $26
A coastal touch to a classic piece, the pearl necklace is versatile for any occasion.
Adina Pearl chain: $19-32
Arguably the best chain to showcase any charm, this chain is simple yet staple for any outfit. Most Betty fans are seen styling this chain in their own ways, even letting it become their signature piece.
Earrings:
In my opinion, earrings are the best Betty item by far. Not only are most of the pieces affordable, but they are
also each unique artworks.
Plumeria Stud Earrings: $19
A staple piece of the brand, Betty Belts offers this charm on literally everything, and rightfully so. For how inexpensive these earrings are, they are a must-buy for anyone on a budget.
Leyla Stud Earrings: $24
Brushed with the colors of the ocean, these earrings are a mini version of any of the classic Betty items.
Pebble Drop Earrings: $52
The most jaw dropping unique piece Betty Belts offers, sure to draw compliments from anyone. Although pricier, these, in my opinion, are worth the expense.
Shayla Sea Glass Hoops: $82
Another statement piece for, as they deemed, “high ocean style”. As one of their
more popular pieces, these hoops sell out quickly!
A less-expensive option but just as pretty– Mini Shayla Hoops: $32
Rings:
Betty Belts is known for their signature ring stacks as they are uniquely yours, affordable and the pieces are
seamlessly mixed and matched, offering endless possibilities. Some of Betty’s favorites include:
Whitewater ring: $24
Bali Dots ring: $24
Perfect Wave ring: $19 (very mesmerizing to look at)
These stackables create an effortless, beach-boho look to the wearer’s hands, and
also serve as an aesthetic brass-knuckle substitute.
Cayden Sea Glass ring: $75
An iconic face of the Betty brand coming in an assortment of shapes and colors, any Betty wearer needs this popular essential. For those on a looser budget, all variations of the Cayden wear are a unique and alluring gift.
The Betty shopping experience is one that takes effort but gives the best result– a sentimental gift they’re sure to love. When in doubt, just remember, these one of a kind pieces are infinitely more special than coffee mugs or holiday themed socks; hopefully your recipient gives you something just as nice in return.
