Investing in Pearl Jewelry in the Time of Online Selling

04.15.2022 by Leah //

Hello, I'm back! I haven't been writing because there's nothing interesting to share but I've been seeing lots of ads in my IG lately about pearl jewelry for sale.  Some even have celebrity endorsers for their products. What piqued my curiosity was that there seems to be an excess supply of pearl necklaces because they are being sold everywhere.  It was so tempting to ... READ MORE

Caring for your 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

Berdori Jewelry at Greenhills

11.11.2012 by Leah //

We were at Greenhills Shopping Center last week to buy pearl necklaces as gifts.   You all know that Greenhills is the ultimate mecca here in Manila for quality freshwater and south sea pearls and in there you will find rows and rows of stalls selling pearl strands and pearl/diamond jewelry.

Tahitian Pearls

07.05.2012 by Leah //

My love affair with south sea pearls just won't stop.  And not now when I finally saw and bought the most elusive of all:  the peacock green tahitian pearls! Meet my newest baby: I got these  stunning 10mm tahitian pearls by accident (or rather, by luck).  My friends and I met up with our trusted jeweler (I got most of my south sea pearl earrings from her) and then I saw ...

My Love Affair with South Sea Pearls

06.19.2011 by Leah //

Unlike other 30-something ladies I know, I am not much into clothes.   I think I buy clothes only once in a semester.  My usual attire would consist of jeans (or capri pants), polo shirt  (usually from Lacoste or  Columbia Sportswear) and my ever-reliable Fit Flops.  They're my signature outfit if I'm not in my office uniform. My only weakness and the most likely thing I ... READ MORE

Our first summit event under the new normal. It wa Our first summit event under the new normal. It was so nice to finally see everyone face to face and have uninterrupted discussions that lasted past 8pm! I get to enjoy free coffee the whole day too. ☕️☕️☕️ Two things I find cute though: everyone now carries a disinfectant spray or alcohol (in every shape and brand), and wears a lanyard for their face mask 😄  #NCRFSDSummit
