Beth’s Baubles, Bangles, and Beads
Beth has been an active jeweler and artist for as long as she can remember, following in the footsteps of her mother, Edythe. While Edythe focused on modern and pop art, making found art and neon light sculptures, prints, and paintings, Beth’s special love has been working with metals, gems, and fabrics and strings to design and make jewelry. Beth began selling her jewelry at age 10 in a local stationery store in Wilmington, Delaware and eventually expanded her entrepreneurial endeavors to be selling her creations in 22 Saks Fifth Avenue and many smaller specialty stores nationwide.
Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton is an international law firm with 20 offices and some 600 attorneys that is particularly well known for its intellectual-property practice.

The Kilpatrick Townsend Women’s Initiative is focused on driving the growth of the firm’s business, building the firm’s talent pipeline and assuring the inclusion of women at the firm. Unchained is deeply grateful to the Kilpatrick Townsend Women’s Initiative for hosting this fundraising event to benefit Unchained.
