Gwen has over 15 years in the fashion industry. She has always loved fashion– from clothes, to jewelry, to décor, you name it. At a young age her style was heavily influenced by accessorizing. Shopping for clothing wasn’t always easy. Gwen found it difficult to find stylish clothing that fit well as her weight often fluctuated. As a result she fell in love with jewelry. She used accessories to make statements with her look. Gwen’s experience with fashion is what led her to create her own line. She taught herself the art of design in both apparel and jewelry before being formally trained. Today the brand features an assortment of golden jewels. Gwen has a particular affinity for gold. The very first piece of jewelry she designed was a gold necklace with her beloved city of Brooklyn spelled across the front, that she still wears to this day. She would go on to design other pieces, prioritizing style and quality equally. The aesthetic of the jewels is a step above minimal, they can be worn stand-alone, and are also perfect for layering and stacking to achieve a more statement look. Gwen's love for this experience of adorning yourself, paired with rave customer feedback, inspired her to launch the brands's featured product, Golden Stories Accessory Box. Golden Stories is a seasonal box of gold jewels designed to build a perfect and complete collection for members. Rooted in community, the Gwen Beloti brand has been recognized not only for making women feel beautiful, but for actively building community through its annual social action initiatives.
