The collection of colorful beads stringed into a jewelry design may showcase beauty and charm, but there’s so much more about this kind of jewelry – one that exhibits the craft of a Filipino artist.
Remus Abella is one of those artists who pursued the creation of bead jewelry pieces. When the modern fashion mavens call for crystals and gold, Remus shifted his focus to a traditional art that he believes can reach and captivate the world.
We asked Remus Abella to give us a glimpse of his beaded world, and why – despite fashion turning its back on beads - he pursues his passion for making breathtaking beaded accessories.
Remus Abella - Local Artist, Creator of Beaded Earrings
For Abella, choosing beads as a medium for his creations stems from his love for details. He shares “I always admire intricate details, that’s why I chose smaller materials to make the pieces of jewelry filled and heavy with character.”
As a local artist pursuing the art of beading in the fashion world, Abella has learned an important principle: it’s that quality and mastery take time.
He is in no hurry, though, as he believes that the beading art from the Philippines - and the traditional beaded jewelry created by him and other local artisans - have a strong chance in the global market.
“Our products are undeniably exotic and exciting – a combination that always makes local and foreign people stop and stare,” he shares.
Beaded Earrings Made with Passion
The middle name of Abella’s brand is passion. The creation involved in making Filipino beaded jewelry calls for a painstaking process that takes time.
This fact is what makes Abella’s handmade Filipino beaded accessories stand out from the crowd.
He believes his brand is unique because “hand stitched earrings are hard to find nowadays, especially not a lot of people are granted so much time to craft their art.”
His dedication is evident in the beaded accessories he has already completed. The intricate details and the touch of Filipino culture make his jewelry creations a classic, timeless collection.
