If memory serves me right, Bea Valdes pioneered the statement bib necklace in Manila. The rest followed suit. But after having seen pieces made by different designers, I still find myself liking Bea’s the best. One, because in my opinion, she has perfected the construction, and two, she has very good design sense.
Take this for instance.
The Fleur Du Mal in purple bib necklace in photos at Couturelab.com (which I had previously featured some months ago) was already breathtaking.
But up close and personal, I can tell you this– it is FANTASTIC.
I got this bag from Bea a few months ago and I am loving, loving, loving it. It’s really unlike any other bag I have.

More necklaces are on Couturelab.com, but according to Town and Country Magazine (October 2009), more Bea pieces will be available at Adora.
