Beltshazzar Jewels is an exquisite assortment of handmade jewelry and leather accessories by Theresa Wangia. The organic evolution of Beltshazzar Jewels can be traced back to Theresa’s world travels, multi-cultural heritage, love of nature, and her passionate appreciation of fashion, music and style. Fashioning its designs primarily from natural elements, Beltshazzar Jewels harmoniously creates a
unique reflection of the cultural and environmental beauty, not only around, but also, within us. Inspired by native tribes, urban landscapes, and sheer elegance, Theresa combines a love for mixing various elements, textures, and colors, with a deliberate attention to detail. Theresa’s great grandfather migrated to the States from Germany to open a cobbler shop and made leather moccasins for the native Indians. He also designed fifteen pairs of Buffalo Bill's infamous leather boots. Theresa’s Grandmother was part Blackfoot Indian so Theresa’s free-spirit designs often have tribal undertones, with urban punctuation. Theresa incorporates a mixture of various elements and mediums to accentuate her designs. Her traditional methods of working with materials are inspired by those used by tribal people from the Amazon, Kenya, and Papua New Guinea. Seeing the intricate, quality craftsmanship of her work, it is no wonder why Theresa was recognized as one of the top three RAW Artists accessory designers in the city of St. Her one of a kind designs can be found in local boutiques in St. Louis, Chicago, & Los Angeles.
