Rebecca Manners known as Bex is an artisanal designer based between Bali and Europe. Her namesake multidisciplinary design studio is built on the philosophy that bespoke jewellery and objects are deeply connecting to the human experience and have the power to enrich people’s lives, creator as well as collector. Having developed her own ‘Art of Slow’ approach through her work with artisans around t
he world, Bex currently works in close collaboration with Indonesian and Burmese masters of craft to create contemporary silhouettes while preserving traditional techniques in jewellery and interiorsWe curate a selection of the artisans’ own creations with 10 per cent of all sales going straight back to local village communities. Each piece is the labour of a meticulous design process, from the first sketch to passing through the hands of master artisans. Using solely ethical materials, sustainability is at the core of the studios’ ethos; up-cycled gold and certified responsibly sources gems are used as part of Bex's mission to create an eco-system of environmentally friendly and ethical practices. Moving beyond the notion of seasons and trends, instead, connectivity, humanity, transparency and spirituality are at the fore encapsulating the timelessness of each piece, made to be kept and cherished for a lifetime. Born and raised in Menorca, Bex spent a decade working as a creative director and stylist in New York before launching her renowned jewellery brand Bex Rox, globally known for bold statement pieces and a vibrant playful universe inspired by the natural world.
