A Different Kind of “Diamond” Earrings

12.14.2013 by Leah //

I've been frequently wearing this 3-year old earrings of mine (that I had custom-made) because of the way they sparkle and shine. Perfect for Christmas! I always get compliments every time I wear this pair.  Others are curious to find where did I find such "yellowish" diamonds, especially the chunky ones in the middle. But guess what?  These are not diamond earrings!  ... READ MORE

Duchess Catherine’s Necklace

07.20.2012 by Leah //

I love the blue Stella McCartney dress but what do you think of the Cartier Trinity Necklace? The long necklace reportedly cost £49,000 and the highlights of this luxury jewelry are the 5 entwined circles of pink, yellow and white gold dotted with diamonds.   It was said to symbolize the Olympic rings.

Baguio Country Club

01.05.2012 by Leah //

Last December I was in Baguio to attend a conference, and was able to enjoy the cold weather that it is popular for.  Although the coldest months there are really January and February, the December weather already kept me in my sweater for most of the day. We visited Baguio Country Club where we had our lunch and to check out its surroundings.  The last time I was there was ... READ MORE

I first heard about Wellmanson's from an officemate who loves doing beads craft.   One day, she took me there and I was totally blown away with the many beaded items and jewelry materials / supplies available for sale.  It's virtually a mecca for all those who love accessories.

Our Wedding Bands

03.31.2011 by Leah //

For our wedding bands, we want something like Tiffany & Co.'s classic knife-edge wedding bands: It was kinda difficult to find a nice knife-edge wedding bands locally because the style is not that "popular' here.  We tried looking at Goldenhills and My Diamonds but they don't have it. During the bridal fair at Megamall in July last year, we came across two shops ... READ MORE

Pearls and Weddings

03.23.2011 by Leah //
