Welcome to Monforte Jewelry
This Canadian born jewelry designer comes to us with a multitude of visual artistry experience. Her love of the theatre and skill has landed her roles in movement theatre as a dancer and mime. Her love of colour and form created yet another artistic dimension. This time, her creative expression took form in make-up artistry for film and television. This career move was rewarded with a Gemini Award for her skills as a make-up artist in 2004

Her obvious love of the Arts, design and accolades has enabled her to parlay her skills into her current collection of stunning and original hand made pieces of jewelry.
"Dreaming In Jewelry"
Most people dream in black and white or colour:
"I dream in jewelry". Ever since I can remember, I've always had a passion for jewelry.As a little girl I used to carry a small suede pouch filled with my favorite pieces of jewelry around with me, so I could take them out to look at them whenever I wanted.
My motto "It's never too late to start a new passion".
I've had three careers in my life, currently working on my fourth. I feel so fortunate and grateful that my dance and make-up background have given me such strong visual senses which I utilize every day to the max. There isn't a day I'm not inspired to create something new in my workshop.
I love beauty that comes from pure sumptuous colour, mixed with a dash of glamorous decadence from the past.
