Betony Vernon
Betony is American-born and based in Europe, both a designer and a true expert in sexual experience. She studied art history and metal-smithing at Virginia Commonwealth University and earned her Masters degree in Industrial Design at Domus Academy in Milan. In 1990, she opened her first atelier in Florence and went on to create jewelry for respected design houses, among them Missoni, Gianfranco Ferre, and Fornasetti. In 1996 she began to develop her ‘Paradise Found’ collection, which consisted of erotic jewels, and what she calls “jewel tools,” ultimately culminating in her ‘Boudoir Box,’ an exquisite, custom-made travel case containing a selection from the Paradise Found collection.
Since 2000, Betony has worked as a sex consultant. She holds sexual skills salons both privately and publicly in Europe and North America,and later this spring, she will also be available for consulting online at betonyvernon.com. She collaborates with renowned pioneers in the emerging field of sexual well-being, among them Sam Roddick, the founder of Coco de Mer. In 2004, Betony founded Paradise Found, a members-only salon in Paris to revive the spirit of the eighteenth-century social custom of the Salon, where like-minded lovers come together to expand on the fundamental theme of sexual satisfaction. She opened its extension, Eden, in 2008. Her work has appeared in numerous international design exhibitions, and she is completing her first book - Paradise Found: Sexual Common Sense and the Joy of Ceremony - due to be released later this year.
