This post has been sitting in my draft folder for a year now. If you have been reading my blog for some time, you would know that I am a fan of enamel faith pendants.

Flash Sale: Our Lady of Perpetual Help Enamel Pendant
Remember the enamel pendants I purchased last year? I have been receiving requests for another group buy and I am beyond flattered for these. But since I took on a new job responsibility last January, my work schedule has been taking most of my free time that I could not find time for it anymore (boo!).

Never mind if the stones are synthetic; when they are of such good quality, people won't notice the difference at ... READ MORE

That's what immediately came to mind when I saw this announcement at Daphne.ph's Facebook page last week: I've been forever in love with Daphne's faith charms, and about 4 years ago I casually inquired about them at the Accessory Lab in Rockwell, where these bespoke medallions are exclusively sold. Being custom-made ... READ MORE
The Beautiful Lapis Lazuli
I received an email today asking about the blue pendant I was wearing during our Greenhills shopping trip with Frances and Vince. Here's how I looked that day. The pendant was a very striking accessory with its intense blue color. The blue stone is called lapis lazuli, a semi-precious stone with a history that dates back to ancient Egypt. It has a beautiful deep ... READ MORE
