The Beads Lamp Collection by Stonesets International x Nazareno/Lichauco references the history of beads from Kalinga and pre-colonial Philippines to trade beads that connected us to Africa where the use of hair jewelry is a beauty practice that long predates our current interpretations, dating from ancient Egypt. The 70s brought about a renewal in the embracing of African aesthetics, brought us disco and Cher’s iconic bangs as a throwback to the 20s Flapper era and gave us Manila jeepneys adorned with beaded curtains and driver seats. The playful nod to these plethora of sources and eras in time complement Stonesets’ expertise.
