Green Lily-Pad Necklace

BeaValdes for CoutureLab

Turquoise cabochons trimmed with spherical and tubular beads

For Bea Valdes, each piece is an exploration and the material her muse – the sway of glass drops, the sheen and shine of metals, ribbon's sensual embrace. Hand-made in the designer's native Philippines, these painstakingly conceived and executed compositions stand testament to her philosophy of 'Just one bead at a time'.

Alight on Bea's lily-pad necklace for a beautiful, nature-inspired accent. Turquoise cabochons, their crackled interiors a constant fascination, interface with silver-gray beads and sequins to form a subtly toning cluster; pearly globes, carefully graded in size, comprise the shimmering three-strand chain.
