Adornments for the Voyage
By Theresa Wangia
— Rich Leathers. Chunky chains. Wrapped stones. Vintage components. Natural Ox-bone and horn. Every piece of jewelry that designer Theresa Wangia makes is steeped in her world of style. She arranges all of the elements to perfection in the brand known as Beltshazzar Jewels.
Beltshazzar Jewels embodies the spirit of the modern day voyager. A sophisticated collection that sweeps a woman effortlessly from day to night, and from urban to outback. Each one-of-a-kind piece is designed to be a treasured companion along the everyday journey that we call LIFE.
Theresa's work draws on global influences and family lineage, blending tribal notes, natural materials, and a deep appreciation for craft. With a background in European fashion and years spent honing her skills under seasoned designers, she has built a signature aesthetic recognized by fashion leaders and featured in exclusive boutiques nationwide.
History and culture can be found in the details: Theresa’s GG Grandfather migrated from Germany to Missouri where he opened a cobbler shop and made moccasins for the Native Americans. He was also under contract for many years to design and produce the tall riding boots for the legendary Buffalo Bill Cody of the 1800s American wild-west.
Theresa is a noted trend-setter and style-maker with an unmatched creative edge. Her highly original work has captured the imagination of top fashion maven, Fern Mallis. She has been recognized as one of the top three RAW artist accessory designers in the city of St. Louis, and is a Phoenix Fashion Week alumni.
Beltshazzar Jewels can be found in exclusive boutiques in St. Louis, Chicago, Nashville, Jackson Hole, Milan and most recently, the Saint Louis History Museum.
