Palamuti Spotlight: Imelda Necklace

Imelda Bead Jewelry Necklace

Today, I put the spotlight on Imelda.

Palamuti by PJ Valenciano's Imelda necklace is a fine piece crafted from seed beads, hand-stitched expertly by Filipino women artisans,sewn with high precision. It comes in one, two, and three-strand variations and can be customized in multiple colors. This necklace's beauty emanates from the elegance and sophistication it gives to its wearer. It's a key piece that doesn't overwhelm an ensemble, rather giving it a classy finish.

The Imelda Bead Jewelry Necklace is best paired with crew-cut necklines, but it can be worn with other styles too, because of its simple yet elegant design. The Imelda piece boasts its versatility; it can be worn on almost any occasions -- may it be a shopping spree at the mall or a high-profile gala in a five-star venue.

Imelda, a versatile piece

On a spontaneous day, Imelda also proves useful to most dresses and tops. You can grab and wear a white top, polish it with this necklace, and voila! You're good to go. It's a good piece to invest in, making it a must-have accessory for your wardrobe. It's pretty convenient to purchase as well, you can easily get Imelda Bead Jewelry Necklace from Palamuti by PJ Valenciano's online store.

Tribal Beauty: Anna Thema

Getting inspiration from the Imelda Collection, we opted to incorporate tribal pattern to each strand, which then was braided and stitched together. The pattern for this necklace was inspired by the handwoven fabrics of Philippine Indigenous groups, the Ifugao and Itneg. The necklace is dominated by the colors of red, orange, blue. One strand measuring 16 inches in length took eight hours of hand stitching seed beads on black felt cloth.  We had to stitch the seed beads on a 1 inched width of felt cloth. Creating a pattern within a limited area proved to be a test of patience!
