Meet my new collection;  B A M . B O O.

Originally conceived, way back when, as part of my Exotica collection, and intended to sit alongside the printed & sculpted pieces in leather & jesmonite, as well as the gold & silver ingots, these little bamboo canes seemed to deserve more space to shine on their own. 

What began, once upon a time, as a simple wax carving of a single miniature bamboo pole has grown into a whole precious metal forest of adornments!

Inspired by midcentury tiki chic, beautiful vintage bamboo furniture and architectural elements from far & wide, as well as the pure majesty of luscious, living bamboo. Whether growing wild, swaying & fluttering in the breeze, or harvested and transformed in to household wares, bamboo has an innate understated grace, strength & mystique.

This collection takes you from dainty everyday essentials to bold, evocative and glamorous statement pieces.

Available in Gold Vermeil or Sterling Silver, these pieces are finished to a soft satin sheen, and capture the perfectly-imperfect texture and character of natural bamboo.

Sections of curved bamboo cane, inspired by tiki lounge furniture, are joined to make stunning metal necklet.

This glamorous, bold cocktail necklace is named after my no.1 style icon, Ava Gardner. I like to imagine her wearing one of these, and I think it embodies some of her radiant presence.

Ava is designed to be worn short & snug around the neck, and measures approx 40cm - 45cm  (just under 16" -17.5") as standard. If you would like a longer chain, please contact me to arrange this, or add a note to your order.

Care Instructions

Each piece of Rosita Bonita jewellery is handmade with much love and care, and we want it to stay looking it’s very best for you.

To help with this please take care to avoid getting your jewels wet, and limit exposure to moisturisers and perfumes.

Keep them in their original packaging when you’re not wearing them, especially if you are lucky enough to live in a hot & humid environment.

This applies to all pieces - whether Leather, Plant Based, or Gold Vermeil.

The chains & findings we use on all leather & plant-based pieces are gold plated and will lose their shiny plating with wear. If at any point you would like these to be renewed, or if your pieces become damaged, they can usually be returned for repair for a small fee, but please do contact us first.

We hope you and your new rosita bonita jewellery will be very happy together.
