From Idea to Accessory: How BomBom Bead Pieces Come to Life

Every piece of BomBom Beads jewelry starts with an idea—a spark of inspiration that transforms into something tangible, wearable, and uniquely yours. Each step of the process is guided by creativity, care, and a deep love for all things handmade. In this behind-the-scenes look, we're exploring how BomBom's signature pieces come to life, showcasing the thoughtfulness and detail behind every bead and charm.
A: Usually I ask myself, Can I even do this? Jewelry making wasn't something I studied over long periods of time. It was something that came naturally to me and that I was passionate about. So when I am inspired to try new designs, sometimes that means learning a new craft of jewelry making to make my vision come to life.
A: I usually spend some quiet time gathering months of pinterest boards, photos, trips and memories of things that I love or feel connected to. I love to find a way to bring it back to the root of the brand and the connection to my heritage. It's a creative process that usually takes time over a longer period of time. But most of its foundation lies in giving me the space to think creatively. I love being inspired by my Portuguese culture and things I remember from my trips to the Azores Islands growing up. Or through the lens of fashion and things that I can feed off of to create a unique piece of jewelry that may be complementary to a trend. Whatever it may be it all starts with a piece of inspiration from many different places.
A: If there is one thing I can't do well, it's draw. So my sketches are never what I envision in my head but it's usually done for myself to get it onto paper and get more of an idea of what the design will take and consist of. I also don't always sketch - sometimes its about playing with different pieces of the puzzle, metals, beads, string, different findings and components that can connect and come together to make something unique and wonderful.
A: I always try to connect it back to my roots, the nostalgia of candy and making it something colorful and custom where people feel the need to add this special piece to their collection.
A: Combing for inspiration through pinterest, through trips, through shopping trips, through experiences. Capturing those elements that I feel drawn to and connected to and bringing that to life through a piece of jewelry is everything. It's a magical rewarding feeling.
