Jewelry of ART Inspires Feminine Power
Her equally inspiring, one-of-a-kind Jewelry of ART pieces are collected and treasured by women who experience “a feeling of feminine power” from wearing them. One collector stated, “Your pieces make me feel like the Queen of Everything, a feeling every woman should have!”

Renée is dedicated to empowering women and donates a portion of the proceeds from her Jewelry of ART to various women’s charities.

Wearable Art Inspired by The Power of Women and Nature
Renée designs and creates each original necklace. Her sculpted and painted pendants resemble the sensual and organic shapes found in nature. Her fine art background is evident in the rich detailed colors and textures that adorn each piece.

Each Piece Accompanied by A Positive Affirmation
Renée’s positive attitude is expressed in the way she names her pieces, such as “Brave Heart”, “Abundance & Prosperity”, “Eternal Youth” and “Power & Manifestation.”

Each piece comes with a positive affirmation card which Renée writes, including the healing properties of the stones and the revelation she experienced while creating the necklace.
