  <itunes:subtitle>Stacey Bowers wanted to make her friends laugh. She’d already had an understanding of jewelry making from her time as a teenager working at a bead store, then she taught herself how to stamp metal. The gifts for her friends caught the eyes of others, and she built an Etsy shop, then a website. By 2018, she had to decide if she wanted to make Bang-Up Betty her full-time gig. She booked a trade show in Vegas and quit her day job. Now, her work has been featured in Buzzfeed and other national platforms, and she makes all of her income as a jewelry designer at her home studio and Stifft Station Gifts.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>Stacey Bowers wanted to make her friends laugh. She used some of her previous knowledge of jewelry making and learned how to stamp metal to make delicate pieces with interesting phrases on them. 
“I think it has a lot to do with my own personal taste in jewelry,” Stacey said. “I typically wear things that are small and discrete, and I think a lot of other people appreciate that, too. But my attitude is not small or discrete. It's a little combination of the inner and outer me.”
She worked full-time as the communications director for the Thea Foundation while making jewelry every hour she wasn’t at work. As of February 2019, she decided to transition to jewelry design full-time with her company, Bang-Up Betty.
