Angela Nelson

Angela Nelson is the Founder and Creative Director of Spangles, a brand that celebrates the beauty and diversity of women through unique beaded jewellery designs.

Before launching Spangles, Angela built a decade-long career at Nestle, working across both the Marketing and IT departments. Her corporate journey gave her deep insights into brand building, technology and the power of presentation. One defining moment came when she was tasked with training senior executives on a new marketing application. Initially apprehensive, Angela discovered how dressing with confidence, in a sharp suit and complementary accessories, transformed her presence and performance. That day she delivered with poise and impact, earning admiration from her line manager and sparking a lifelong belief: when you look good and feel great, you can achieve anything.

This philosophy inspired Angela to turn her beading hobby into Spangles, a brand rooted in heritage and modernity. Beyond creating jewellery, she is passionate about empowering underprivileged youth, especially women and girls, by offering free training in jewellery-making. Her mission is to help them gain economic independence and pursue their dreams with confidence.

Angela sources high-quality materials from around the world to craft designs that suit every occasion and mood, whether a statement necklace for a formal event, a colourful bracelet for a casual outing, or delicate earrings for a romantic evening. Through Spangles she continues to merge artistry, empowerment and storytelling, proving that style can be both personal and transformative.
