We were at Greenhills Shopping Center last week to buy pearl necklaces as gifts. You all know that Greenhills is the ultimate mecca here in Manila for quality freshwater and south sea pearls and in there you will find rows and rows of stalls selling pearl strands and pearl/diamond jewelry. But there was one store that stood out because it has a "brand name": Berdori ... READ MORE
The Quest for Burmese Rubies
I can't remember when was it that I first looked for ruby earrings for my collection. Red rubies and green emeralds are the most difficult to find among all precious stones because their supply is really low.

It was a very striking ring design that was also made popular by the hit teleserye of ABS-CBN, "Walang Hanggan". I am not a fan of that teleserye but I am a fan of the infinity ring. While we opted for simple bands for our wedding rings, infinity rings have ... READ MORE

They sell the best-looking charm bracelets in the area, and in ... READ MORE

It was said to symbolize the Olympic rings. I think the necklace is pretty but not too flattering with her ... READ MORE
Tahitian Pearls
My love affair with south sea pearls just won't stop. And not now when I finally saw and bought the most elusive of all: the peacock green tahitian pearls! Meet my newest baby: I got these stunning 10mm tahitian pearls by accident (or rather, by luck). My friends and I met up with our trusted jeweler (I got most of my south sea pearl earrings from her) and then I saw ... READ MORE

So when I saw these hand-crafted necklaces made by Prim and Preppy Accessories, I know that I have to get one (or two). I love beautiful things and I know ... READ MORE
Pretty in Rose
Rose Gold is the precious metal at the moment. Net-A-Porter is currently showcasing fine jewelry online and I fell in love with these enchanting but modern pieces made of hard-to-find rose gold: Arabesque 18-karat rose gold diamond ring from Diane Kordas: Filigrana 9-karat rose gold lace earrings by Laurent Gandini: Arrow 18-karat rose gold diamond necklace by Anita ...
