Eco Friendly Jewelry from a Beverly Native

If you're looking for a bracelet that supports local business, is eco-friendly, and is an original, look no further than Liz Allen Designs.

Allen, a Beverly native who now resides in Salisbury, was featured in last week's Downtown Dazzle hosted by Beverly Main Streets and has also showcased her work in Beverly's Artsfest. 

Allen has been designing jewelry for about four years, and "just recently got up the courage to take full advantage of her creativity, and start her own business," her business' Facebook says.

"I love to make things with my hands...There's just something about getting my hands all covered in goop and saw dust that gets me excited about creating beautiful things," she said on her Etsy. 

Allen's debut collection, the Lokta Collection, are handcrafted from wood, handmade paper from Nepal, and eco-friendly producsts. They're durable and water resistant and "great for adding a pop of color and style to any wardrobe." 

You can check out Allen's work at Plum Consignment on Cabot Street, or on her Etsy.
