I'm Nina Berenato, a jewelry designer based in Austin, TX. I bootstrapped my way from a mobile shop inside a 1959 Airstream Bambi to a brick and mortar storefront in Austin's biggest shopping district. I believe in American Handmade and Woman Made and have made it my mission to prove that it is still possible to thrive as a craftswoman and maker in the modern world.

I've been making jewelry and teaching traditional metalsmithing for 11 years and I've had the opportunity to create custom jewelry for celebrities like, Beyonce, Lizzo, Alicia Keys and Billie Eilish.

As my business grows, I still stay super focused, everything I do is with one goal in mind, to uplift my community, support other women, and make the world better.
I can't wait to share my knowledge about the fashion industry, small business, and my take on life as a female entrepreneur!
