Jewellery

Howie’s First Spark is a little love letter to beadwork, rooted in an ancient tradition that stretches back tens of thousands of years. Inspired by the earliest adornments crafted from natural materials, each piece honours the legacy of craftsmanship passed down through generations while being reimagined with a cheeky, contemporary twist.

Howie’s pieces center on the meticulous art of knotted beadwork, a refined technique developed centuries ago to protect and space precious beads and pearls, keeping them safe and showing off their natural beauty. The tactile luxury of a knotted strand is supple and fluid, letting each piece drape gracefully and move with the wearer, almost as if it has a mind of its own.

By blending these time-honored methods with modern design, Howie’s First Spark creates jewellery that connects to tradition while bringing joy, love, and a touch of good fortune, sprinkling a little extra magic into everyday moments.

  • Handmade by Howie

    Every knot, bead, and pearl is carefully placed by our own hands. Each necklace carries Howie’s thought, care, and energy, making every piece uniquely alive. Each piece is created with intention, guided by Howie Studio’s values of ethical consumerism.

  • One of a kind

    No two humans are the same, so why should our jewellery be? Every Howie piece is one of a kind, strung with its own quirks, colors, and character. At Howie, imperfection is beauty, and each piece is a little work of art.

  • Responsible

    Howie hand-sews jewellery pouches from deadstock fabrics, giving new life to materials that might otherwise go to waste. We skip the branded boxes and keep it simple with craft brown shipping boxes and honeycomb paper — recyclable, renewable, and biodegradable.

  • Slow & Intentional

    Howie works with quality materials from trusted local and independent sources, honouring beadwork's ancient tradition. For thousands of years, beads have traveled between hands and across continents, each one carrying its own story before finding its way to you.

  • Each piece takes hours to complete. The antithesis of fast fashion!

    Hand-knotting pearls is deliciously slow work. Each knot is tied individually between every bead, a process that takes hours to complete a single piece. It's where my brain quiets and my hands take over. The result is a necklace that's luxury to hold, with an energy all its own.

  • Talismans & Good Fortune

    Long before jewellery was about beauty, it was about energy, intention, and luck. Worn as protective charms and tiny keepers of meaning, they’ve carried stories for thousands of years. Each Howie piece is made with that same intention, every knot holding a quiet kind of magic meant to live with you, every day.
