When thinking of Denise Betesh’s jewelry, the first thing that comes to mind is her choice of stones: a devoted jeweler, her gems are not only conflict-free but of impeccable quality and character. The second is her metal—a distinct 22K gold handcrafted in her Santa Fe studio. These elements work together in easy harmony: the stones catch the eye, while the gold holds its attention. Paired with her seamless designs and keen sense for color, Denise Betesh harnesses the rare qualities of a prized heirloom: trendless, timeless, and like no other.

Core to jewelry collection is a selection of stackable rings set with richly colored stones such as tangy tsavorite and chocolate star sapphire. The latter is of particular note—not only is this a rare varietal within Denise Betesh’s collection, but the cabochons hide a secret star that is revealed with direct light.


“What’s important is making jewelry that’s not a fashion statement, but something to be cherished and honored.”
