Colleen Smith grew up with the adage, “If you don’t see a job you like, make your own.” So after leaving professional ballet and dabbling in the famed design houses of New York City, she did just that, parlaying her love for jewelry and accessories into BEVIN. A hand fabricated jewelry line, BEVIN maintains the importance of purposeful production over mass production.
This eye for careful, one-of-a-kind creativity takes inspiration from the modern woman, as well as the world at large. For Colleen, it’s about fashioning inventive pieces that embody the confident, adventurous temperament she sees in so many of the women she admires.
In addition to nurturing her creative spirit through her jewelry, Colleen also takes pride in her work as a business owner. It’s a balance Colleen attributes to a love for versatility. As Colleen herself says, “The important thing is not being afraid to try something new.”
