20 Jul Texas Jewelry Artist, Nina Berenato, featured in Beyoncé’s latest music video!
Two years ago, a charismatic and innovative jewelry artist hit our radar when she moved her mobile boutique to San Antonio, Texas. We fell in love with her mantra, “One person can change an industry. One person can declare war.” and we basically cyber stalked her until we were able to catch an interview with this electrifying innovator.

At that time, Nina Berenato, a talented jewelry maker who got her start as a metal smith in Brooklyn, had opened her first retail store in Austin, Texas and had her sights set on the road. Among her very on trend and unique handmade designs, she began making incredible ear cuffs more daring than anything we had seen in a while. Upon finishing the interview inside her airstream that one hot summer day, we knew quite a few things:
A) Buying one of these ear cuffs – for sure! B) This girl is a super talent and C) Challenging the status quo (the way only she can) will bring her global attention.

Since then, we have been following her career, of course buying items online, and seeing her refreshing, non-censored posts on instagram showcasing the tangled reality of growing a small business. Her brightly lit grid, hip and ahead of the curve designs as well as constant reminders to “Be A Bad Ass” are just a few reasons to follow this radiant Texas star! Nina, we salut you. Always.

Most recently, we caught her most exciting success yet. Her work is now featured in Beyoncé’s much anticipated SPIRIT music video from Disney’s The Lion King. The piece is called the Lioness Mask and features a dainty but impactful thin gold line that rests on the base of someones central facial features. We sat down with Nina, to get all the deets. Here’s what she had to say:
NB: I keep my designs in a showroom in New York called “The Shiny Squirrel”. Anytime we have ever gotten big press it’s been through them. They keep one of every piece I’ve ever made & stylists can view and borrow them there. The owner who has become a close, personal friend over the 8 years we’ve worked together sent me a text saying she had a bizarre request for Beyoncé and she doesn’t even know if it’s possible. I was walking out of the shop when I received the text so I immediately called her & she explained the project & connected me with the stylist directly. That’s when I learned exactly what they wanted me to make.
