Filipino-born designer, Bea Valdes, has design in her blood. Her family was in the jewelry trade. So true is Valdes to her craft that she continues to live in Manila working with local artisans in order to keep it real. I love the line from her website: "stringing together millimeters into millenium - that is her method." Her work is stunning and takes statement jewelry to a new level. See all of her work on her web site.
