Feature: M Lhuillier Jewellers

     When I was in grade school, I always saw my mom wear gold accessories during special occasions. I am still not aware that gold jewelry and diamond pieces are not just accessories to complement an outfit, they are good investments. These timeless pieces especially with fine and rare gemstones, have a high resale value and usually do not lose value. That is why growing up, I saw how my mother valued her gold jewelry. If she has extra money to spend, she makes sure that it will be for a piece of gold jewelry that will go into her collection. One time I asked her what she would do with it 10 years from now and the only answer I got was that it would be handed down to us and kept for future use.

     If my memory serves me right, she is getting her source from a close family friend. During that time, only a few establishments offered high-quality genuine jewelry. That's why knowledge and trust are important before shelling out ten or thousands of pesos to buy gold and diamonds. It is important to know the type of jewelry, where it came from, and other details about the piece that you are going to buy just to make sure you are getting the real ones. Fast forward to today, now I understand why she keeps on saving her hard-earned money to buy gold and diamond pieces. Jewelries are timeless investments you can give to yourself or your loved one. Do you want to invest in gold and diamond jewelry? You are in luck because I discovered that M Lhuillier has a store for exquisite and fine jewelry. Click read more to find out.

How Diamonds are Made into Jewelry: Cutting, Setting & More

     There are several factors that serve to define a truly stunning piece of jewelry. The type of metal utilized, the level of craftsmanship, and its inherent characteristics will all have a massive impact. However, there is no doubt that the presence of a high-quality diamond can make or break even the most expensive pieces.

     Of course, this is partially due to the sheer brilliance of the stone itself. We nonetheless need to remember that it takes a great deal of skill to transform a rather generic piece of jewelry into one which captivates the eye of the beholder. This is why appreciating the process in greater detail is always a good idea. How is an otherwise "anonymous" diamond transformed into jewelry? Let us take a look at the process in a bit more detail.

Feature: I Am Band Bracelet

     Stress, anxiety, confusion, fear, and heartaches best described my mental state when the year 2020 started. From a non-stop trip to the emergency room and a handful of confinements at the hospital last year up to my father’s demise last February, all these negative feelings have piled up from one unfortunate event to another.⁣ My family and my Yoga practice are my sources of strength but there were times that I still feel sad and negative thoughts start to swirl on my mind again. I need to establish the right intentions that can help me stay positive and optimistic in this difficult time.

     Two weeks ago, I received The I Am Band Bracelet- a remedy that works to beat anxiety, hexes, haters and more. My husband and I believe that we are part of the universe and the energies (positive or negative) greatly affect our behavior and way of life. Speaking of energy, we need to block the negative and enhance the positive one by praying and wearing spiritual accessories for protection and guidance. Sharing more of my I Am Band Bracelet experience below.

     Hello, dearies! If you're following me on Instagram, I'm sure you've seen one of my post scrutinizing and trying a gold diamond stud earring. I've been lemming for a small diamond earring (yellow gold or white gold) for years now because I want to replace my outer conch earring with something luxurious yet affordable one.

     After blogging about Just Jewels last month, I decided to visit their physical store. The branch that I went to was in SM Megamall. There was a sale during the time of my visit so customers were busy choosing and checking out different jewelry to add to their investment and collection.

Gold Jewelry: Sound Investment and Timeless Fashion Statement

     What are your prized possessions? These days, as gadget companies try to integrate technology into the lifestyle of consumers more seamlessly, wearable gadgets are all the rage. Think of smartwatches, high-tech rings and other wares merge the conveniences of modern technology and the appeal of fashion accessories. Did you know that ages ago before wearable tech became a thing, the concept of multi-purpose wearables has been around for some time now in the form of jewelry?

A piece of jewelry definitely gives every outfit a touch of luxury. Imagine those huggie earrings, a gold watch or, a gem-encrusted ring that can certainly give that "shine bright like diamonds" effect to the wearer. In addition, gold jewelry seems to be always on the radar of fashion influencers--just in different interpretations. But beyond aesthetics and creative expression, jewelry is actually a practical commodity and I agree with that 100%. Want to know why? Read more below :)
