BETONY VERNON IS RENOWN FOR PIONEERING A FINE JEWELRY RANGE THAT EXPLORES THE POSSIBILITY OF ADORNING ONE’S BODY WITH OBJECTS THAT CAN ALSO BE USED FOR SENSUAL PLEASURE. THE COLLECTION PRIVÉE CONCEPT EVOLVED ORGANICALLY FROM VERNON’S HUGELY POPULAR "O-RING" COLLECTION THAT LAUNCHED IN 1992. SUBSEQUENTLY VERNON REALIZED THAT THE LUXURY MARKET DID NOT CONSIDER THE NEED FOR OBJECTS THAT WERE RESPECTFUL TO THE SACRED ART OF LOVING. SHE CONCEIVED THAT HER JEWELRY COULD FULFILL THIS PURPOSE
IN 1995 AND 1998 SHE DESIGNED TABLE OBJECTS FOR FLORENTINE SILVERSMITH PAMPALONI. DURING THAT TIME, SHE WAS ALSO APPOINTED AS DESIGN DIRECTOR FOR THE ITALIAN INTERIOR DESIGN HOUSE FORNASETTI.
VERNON HAS COLLABORATED WITH SEVERAL FASHION DESIGNERS, INCLUDING MISSONI, ALAIN TONDOWSKI, GIANFRANCO FERRE AND JEAN PAUL GAULTIER. IN 2006, SHE DESIGNED A NECKPIECE FOR SWAROVSKI'S RUNWAY ROCKS PROJECT THAT WAS LATER USED BY LADY GAGA FOR HER PAPARAZZI VIDEO.
EXHIBITIONS: VICTORIA AND ALBERT MUSEUM, LONDON 2005. “THE TOUCH ME”.
