A Note From Beth Regarding the Conception of the Logo:
After graduating college, I won a DeBeers Diamonds International Award on a drawn entry. I went to seek much needed advice from my high school jewelry teacher and first mentor, Roy Risley, on how to execute the piece.

I was overwhelmed at winning as well as feeling young and inexperienced on the bench. He began “helping” me on the execution of the metal work by asking me if I had ever seen the “Wizard of Oz”. Having nothing to do with the conversation, I was a bit confused. He went on to ask what the “Lion” needed. The answer, of course, is “Courage”. I just needed the courage to sit at the bench and begin executing the piece and to have confidence in my abilities.

I began to realize this “Courage” was what one needed in life. Small steps lead to a larger overall step. With a little bit of “Courage” people can accomplish anything they set their minds to. With this and also being born under the sign of Leo my logo was created.
