The green fire of Maleficent inspired the creation of this jewelry setting using beautiful Biron emeralds (check out my first emerald jewelry feature HERE). The idea was to create a jewelry setting inspired by Maleficent (Angelina Jolie's version). It has to display power, fierce, drama and flamboyance - Maleficent's defining characteristics. Big Biron emeralds ... READ MORE
Stackable Perky Rings
I have long loved the idea of building up my finger bling and then interchange them to make it appear that I'm wearing a different kind of ring every day. I shared this 'idea' to my partner jeweler and showed her my pegs (including Tiffany's Celebration Rings) and together, we came up with these solid 14k white gold rings with colorful gemstones as a way to celebrate the ...

The Foreveryday Ring
I'm very happy to introduce to you The Bright Spot's first Holiday Jewelry Offering, which took some months of planning with my jeweler because I wanted to make sure that it's gonna be within everyone's budget: Yes, it's an eternity ring but is MORE than that! An eternity ring is perhaps the most romantic ring that a guy can give you. It symbolizes never-ending love, ... READ MORE
The Antique Rose-Cut Diamonds
With showbiz wedding proposals happening left and right (the latest was Isabel Oli getting engaged to John Prats - watch their cool video here), I decided to feature today a unique diamond cut that has a lot of history in itself, and which I think any girl would love to receive on her engagement or wedding day: They're called rose-cut diamonds, and are sometimes called ...

A Royal Engagement Ring for Marian
Everyone's still talking about Marian Rivera's engagement ring - a Harry Winston emerald-cut diamond ring, no less! I'd say Dingdong Dantes couldn't have chosen a better ring for his queen, who now shares the distinction of having the same engagement ring design as the late Grace Kelly, an American actress and once Princess of Monaco. Grace Kelly's ring was from ... READ MORE
Mystic Biron Emeralds
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
Sparkling Rubies for Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine's Day! And because today is about celebrating love and romance, I am going to feature a very romantic jewelry set that is for sale. Yes, it's from my alahera based in Bulacan where I got my yellow tanzanite earrings that sparkles like diamonds, and some of my south sea pearls before I discovered Palawan's. The romantic jewelry I'm talking about is set in ... READ MORE
A Fancy Jewelry
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 ... READ MORE
