Iliad Necklace

BeaValdes for CoutureLab

Jeweled necklace hand-beaded by artisans in the Philippines

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'. For an epic effect, choose Bea's Iliad necklace. Eight blue-green Labradorite oval-cuts, encircled with tubular and spherical sequins and beads, interface to form a magnetizing carapace. Six Labradorite pear-cut pendants and a chunky brass-effect chain add more dazzle and lustre to the mix. Piece is carefully articulated to contour closely to your body; it secures with a stylish lobster-claw clasp.
