So you didn’t know we recycle Bettys into brand new sparkling jewelry? Not your fault. It’s a special service we’ve been doing at the shop since 2017 to extend the life of our precious materials & ocean treasures like sterling silver, sea glass & gemstones.
Here’s a refresher on our Betty Recycling Program in case you’ve got some Bettys out of rotation because they’ve seen better days after playing in the sun, sand & surf.
We’ve heard you say things like…
“I seriously never take off my ring”
“I wear this literally, every day”
“It goes with everything, I’m obsessed”
It is music to our ears to hear how much you love your Betty jewelry, but the sad side is, that’s the kind of wear and tear that could end up in a broken anklet, busted chain, thrashed tread, etc.
Here’s some good news, We LOVE to recycle & let these little ocean-inspired treasures live on through our Recycling Credit Program.
It’s just the Betty way we do things to encourage a no-waste life, and always has been since 2003.
HOW IT WORKS:
Say the quality GUARANTEE lapsed on your worn out friendship bracelet, or, you accidentally stepped on your ring, we offer recycling shopping credit toward a new purchase when you return any of our designs made primarily with SOLID STERLING, GOLD VERMEIL, SEA GLASS, SURF RESIN, PEARLS and/or GEMSTONES to our shop.

Betty Belts Recycling, 12 North Fir Street, Ventura, CA 93001.
