Montreal jewelry designer Renelde Napoli’s 2008 collection of hand made jewelry.

A self-taught artist and expert in bead-weaving technique, Renelde creates art that’s ready to wear.

Napoli weaves her stunning jewelry from tiny seed beads and crystals. This intricate art, derived from Native American and African traditions, sometimes uses thousands of individual beads in one piece. Working with freshwater pearls, Venetian glass, Swarovski crystal and lampwork beads, Renelde gives each piece its own unique flavour - and even its own name. And like a fine piece of artwork, no two handcrafted creations are alike.
