I'm Reynonda Townsend, designer, maker, and the hands behind every piece you see here. Since beginning in 2008 and relaunching in 2021, I’ve hand-strung semi-precious gemstone jewelry the way it’s always been done; one bead, one bracelet, one intention at a time. My designs fall into what the jewelry world calls Bridge Jewelry: the elegance of fine jewelry, made accessible, without ever being mass-produced. Every stone I choose carries its own quiet meaning. I hope that when you put on a Forte Creations piece, it becomes more than an accessory,  a small, physical reminder of who you are and who you're becoming. Handcrafted for the soul, one piece at a time.
