Enamel Pendants by Radek Aljancic

11.17.2014 by Leah //

If you've been following my blog long enough, you'll know that I'm fascinated with enamel faith pendants.  I was lucky to have caught the tail end of Ms. Daphne Osena-Paez jewelry flash sale in March last year and bought her custom-made St.Paul faith pendant. Then I chanced upon the website of this European artist where Ms. Daphne sources some of her enamel pendants.  It ... READ MORE

The Foreveryday Ring

10.14.2014 by Leah //

I'm very happy to introduce to you The Bright Spot's first Holiday Jewelry Offering, which took some months of planning with my jeweler because I wanted to make sure that it's gonna be within everyone's budget: Yes, it's an eternity ring but is MORE than that! An eternity ring is perhaps the most romantic ring that a guy can give you.  It symbolizes never-ending love, ... READ MORE

The Antique Rose-Cut Diamonds

10.02.2014 by Leah //

With showbiz wedding proposals happening left and right (the latest was Isabel Oli getting engaged to John Prats  - watch their cool video here), I decided to feature today a unique diamond cut that has a lot of history in itself, and which I think any girl would love to receive on her engagement or wedding day: They're called rose-cut diamonds,  and are sometimes called ...

Movies and Gemstones in my Mind

09.17.2014 by Leah //

The recently concluded Star Magic Ball inspired me to collaborate with my Bulacan-based jeweler for the design and gemstone choices of these pretty and eye-catching earrings. And because it's a showbiz event which inspired the creation of these earrings, I decided to name each pair after the film which came to mind after I saw the actual pieces. Pretty in Baby Pink and ... READ MORE

A Royal Engagement Ring for Marian

08.17.2014 by Leah //

Everyone's still talking about Marian Rivera's engagement ring - a Harry Winston emerald-cut diamond ring, no less! I'd say Dingdong Dantes couldn't have chosen a better ring for his queen, who now shares the distinction of having the same engagement ring design as the late Grace Kelly, an American actress and once Princess of Monaco. Grace Kelly's ring was from ... READ MORE

Going beyond diamonds with Signity Stones

08.08.2014 by Leah //

Big girls need big diamonds. This is one of Elizabeth Taylor's best quotes, and how I wish I listened to her sooner! You see, the price of sparkling diamonds has started shooting up again (after a temporary slump in 2008), and for last year alone, prices of rough diamond in the U.S. increased 10%. (source). How I wished I followed my alahera's advice to start buying the ... READ MORE

Mystic Biron Emeralds

06.27.2014 by Leah //

My dream gemstone is actually not diamond but emerald.  One of my wishes is to own Colombian emeralds - the purest emeralds in the world - prized for their superb quality, color intensity and brilliance. Natural emeralds, which are green varieties of the beryl mineral stones, are very, very difficult to source now.  This scarcity has resulted in it being even more ... READ MORE
