About Anna Beck
All pieces are handmade in Bali and are sterling silver and 18k gold plated. Each jewelry piece is made with a different ancient Balinese technique that dates back hundreds of years. Designer Becky Hosmer resides in Los Angeles and oversees production several times a year in Bali.
About Becky Hosmer
Becky Hosmer’s affair with jewelry starts back in her college days, when she had the opportunity to travel the world. She was profoundly inspired by the abundance of color and handmade art throughout Asia. After many trips to Nepal, the Himalayas, Tibet, and Thailand Becky gained interest in the jewelry-making craft.
By the time she made her way to Bali, she was already involved in jewelry and foreign trade. Bali opened up the door for Becky to learn intricate native metal work techniques that possessed an ancient look, but were still very modern. This was something she had never seen before. She soon began designing her own pieces, working with a Balinese artisan. Originally made for her own personal jewelry collection, it wasn’t long before she landed in high end stores around the United States. This is how Anna Beck Designs came to life in 2003.
Becky has had the opportunity to be inspired by a place that she truly loves. She is now based in Bali to oversee production and work on new designs. As Anna Beck Designs continues to grow, so does Becky’s understanding of the Balinese people and culture. She is often inspired by the colorful and spiritual people of Bali and its stunning surrounding; that inspiration can be seen in all of her collections.
Publicity
Los Angeles based Anna Beck Designs is a contemporary jewelry collection that uses one of the oldest jewelry making techniques in the exotic Far East. Timeless necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings and cuffs are handcrafted on the island of Bali. And while the primary elements in the designs are elegant gold and silver, earthy semi-precious stones like Jasper and Onyx do make rare appearances.
Each piece in the collection is layered with tiny gold or silver disks, with each disk of precious metal individually cut and affixed to the metal base. “It’s a traditional art form. The first time I saw it, I fell in love.” explains owner and designer Rebecca Hosmer.
The unusual technique gives Hosmer’s classic styles added interest and excitement, and has attracted many fans including celebrity fashion icons Jessica Alba, Kirsten Dunst, Nicole Richie, Kate Bosworth, Mary J. Blige and Hilary Duff.
Anna Beck jewelry is sold at elite boutiques nationwide like Bettina Duncan at Fred Segal in Los Angeles, Scoop in New York and many cities in between. Individual pieces retail from $88 to $500.
