THE BRIGHT SPOT

Food. Travel. Bargain finds. Random thoughts. A bright spot for sharing ideas and starting conversations!

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

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

Bensani Charms

06.17.2014 by Leah //

I was reacquainted with my love with feng shui jewelry when I sat down with Grace (of Bensani Jewelry) over coffee and donuts last month, for a possible collaboration with The Bright Spot. It was my post about feng shui jewelry that brought Grace and I together for this big project, although I knew her for quite some time already because I buy my feng shui charms and ... READ MORE

The Bid is On for the Palawan Saltwater Pearl Necklace

05.28.2014 by Leah //

The bid/auction is finally ON for this gorgeous Palawan Pearl Necklace that I mentioned in my earlier post.  You can place your bids at my eBay.ph account.  For the sake of transparency, I will not accept bids outside eBay. Here's a screenshot of the eBay listing I made: A picture of me 'modeling' the pearl necklace.  I was able to capture the pearls' colors perfectly ... READ MORE

Bid for this: Pearl Necklace from Palawan

05.25.2014 by Leah //

I got inspirational boost from the messages and comments you left when I mentioned about the jewelry business I was invited to join.  Just to update you, I've already sent message to my interested partner that I will not be able to do it.  I was really sad to let it go, but then again, another opportunity knocked during my trip at Palawan the other day. It all started with ... READ MORE

Caring for your Pearls

04.12.2014 by Leah //

Now that summer has officially set in, I become more mindful of the summer heat's effect on my pearls. I was once very addicted to south sea pearls, but I 'temporarily' stopped buying after my 6th set because they require more care than my other gemstone jewelry.  I have mostly pearl earrings (as seen above), with matching ring or pendant. Because they're plenty, ... READ MORE

Link of London’s Rose Gold Vermeil Skull Friendship Bracelet

03.25.2014 by Leah //

There's something about skull charms that I find enchanting and cute.  Maybe its the punk rock appeal, or because Alexander McQueen made it look so chica.  And this new skull friendship bracelet design from Links of London does not only look trendy cute, but classy with its rose gold vermeil coating as well! ************** Shimmer in skeletal style with this Rose Gold Vermeil ...

A Mid-Week Must Have: Coral Jewelry

03.05.2014 by Leah //

A good friend of mine gifted me with these dark blue carved rose coral earrings and pendant set on my birthday last month: I love the wonderful pop of color here (even though it's in dark blue) and the simple but intricate-looking gold leaves setting. Together, they give a vintage flair to this flower jewelry. My favorite piece is the pendant.  The gold leaves are ... READ MORE
