AUSTIN (KXAN) — Work from an Austin jeweler was recently featured in Beyonce’s music video for the song ‘Spirit’ from the upcoming remake of “The Lion King”.

Austin jeweler Nina Berenato was contacted two weeks ago about making 10 face masks for Beyonce’s video with only a day to complete the project. She took to Instagram Wednesday morning to share her excitement after seeing her work in the music video.

2 weeks ago, through my showroom @theshinysquirrel I was asked to make 10 custom face masks for an upcoming Beyonce video. I had one day to make them and somehow we pulled it off. We didn’t know if they were ever used, would ever be used. Tonight I saw the design worn in @beyonce new Lion King video & her dancers OMG – they look like total warriors in them!!! – #spiritmusicvideo – WOW! Speechless, heart thumping out of my chest. A day I’d never imagined I would see! 🤯 #beyonce They are currently available for sale on my website.
