Flash Sale: Our Lady of Perpetual Help Enamel Pendant

07.04.2015 by Leah // Leave a Comment

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!). So allow me to make bawi to some of you who have been looking forward ... READ MORE

Enamel Pendants by Radek Aljancic

11.17.2014 by Leah // 11 Comments

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

A Mid-Week Must Have: Coral Jewelry

03.05.2014 by Leah // 4 Comments

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

A Fancy Jewelry

01.25.2014 by Leah // 2 Comments

Just because I've been featuring only premium gold jewelry doesn't mean I don't buy the fancy ones, or those made from synthetic stones and gold lower than 14k. Those who cannot yet afford to buy expensive jewelry can actually start with a set of fancy ones.  Never mind if the stones are synthetic; when they are of such good quality, people won't notice the difference at ...

My Faith Pendant from Daphne Jewellery

03.07.2013 by Leah // 4 Comments

Good things come to those who wait.  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

02.26.2013 by Leah // 2 Comments

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

The Duchess was spotted wearing this Asprey London's Round Pave Pendant Necklace at the recent celebration of Canada Day: Photo credit:  duchessofcambridgestyle.com It reminds me of "evil eye" pendants, which are used as protective charms in the parts of the Middle East.   The Turkish Evil Eye Pendant is the more popular one, as it is said to protect the wearer from ...
