The Materials
All Beaded by Bimba pieces are made using a combination of new and vintage beads.
High-quality beads, thread and stainless steel clasps are sourced from local small bead stores and vintage beads are collected by repurposing preloved jewellery from op shops and vintage stores around Australia and the world.
The History
Beaded by Bimba was born in 2020 when I discovered my passion for making beautiful and individual pieces of jewellery for myself, friends and family. I soon turned my love for beading into a small business on Instagram which has now grown enough for me to operate from my own website!
The Name
Bimba translates to "little girl" or "little sister" in Italian. Coming from an Italian family, I was often called Bimba growing up. Using this name for a beaded jewellery business seemed to be fitting considering making beaded jewellery for family and friends is something you would do as a little girl. It also has a good ring to it!
