Guest Bio:

At the age of three, Meredith wore her mother’s engagement ring to preschool and told the teachers that she had gotten married. This was the start of a lifelong passion for jewelry. As a teenager, she started making her own pieces, learning how to solder and set stones using a variety of metals.  

After actually getting married and having three kids, Meredith saw a hole in the marketplace for reasonably priced, beautiful jewelry. She started beading bracelets and necklaces for her family and friends and, through word of mouth, the business quickly took off.  Her line of affordable, classic pieces could be seen on celebrities like Busy Philipps and, also, on regular moms like herself!   

She recently joined forces with Dry Bar founder and entrepreneur, Alli Webb, to form Becket + Quill: an affordable, luxurious brand of jewelry that brings a little sparkle to everyone.
