Rafaela has been busy making beaded jewelry since she was in the single digits of life. She finds comfort in the meditative practice of sitting with found beads and making sense of where they best belong. She connects this practice to her search for identity as a Lebanese woman living in America.

HABIBI THING is a jewelry brand that offers protection, healing, and ornamentation through the reinvention of traditional evil eye amulets. Rafaela intentionally beads each piece with care.
