MYGOLD SM Makati Store Opening

     This post is just in time for Mother's Day. If you're still searching for a precious and memorable gift for your mom or your wife or to the woman of your life, a jewelry is always a good option. Don't think it's out of your budget because there are brands of jewelry in the market today that offers high quality but affordable timeless pieces.

     I was invited to the store launch of one jewelry store that I will recommend to you. During their opening, they have a sale that went up to 40% discount. That's an awesome deal, right? So I will not keep you waiting and will muse about the event highlights after the jump :)

MYGOLD Sm Makati Store Opening

     Before I'll share with you an excerpt of MYGOLD's story, here are three things why a jewelry is a perfect gift this Mother's Day and an accessory to keep and cherish for a lifetime.

• Jewelry is always seen as precious heirlooms that serve more than decorative pieces, rather, a fitting remembrance celebrating one’s important milestones.
• A Jewelry is beautiful, timeless and definitely worth keeping investment- ask this to a woman and her eyes will answer YES with a sparkle.
• Whether it’s a symbol of love expressed through a delicate engagement ring, a symbol of a lifelong commitment expressed through a pair of wedding bands or celebrating new beginnings expressed through a dazzling pair of earrings or a lovely bracelet, jewelry always make for an attractive keepsake that multiplies in value through time. 

MYGOLD Sm Makati Store Opening

     From its humble beginnings when it was just a two-showcase display of religious items made from Philippine gold, MYGOLD went on to becoming the jeweler of choice by many because of its fine selection of exquisite craftsmanship and quality in jewelry. 

     Attracting customers from all walks of life, MYGOLD started as a two-display showcase inside the department store. It wasn’t hard for mall-goers to take notice of MYGOLD’s beautiful pieces – all elegantly displayed as they passed by the jeweler’s spot. Given the Filipino’s love for celebrating life milestones and natural inclination to express their love through more creative ways, MYGOLD jewelry has become a favored brand when it comes to quality jewelry.

     Initially offering crosses and pieces with the image of the beloved Sto. Nino, MYGOLD went on to partner with another manufacturer in 1987 in Singapore. From there, the brand started offering a more diverse lineup of pieces which featured diamonds, pearls, and today, even colored stones.

     In 2007, MYGOLD held its first-ever private sale through a partnership with a bank. Clients were able to enjoy an exclusive viewing of the new and more sophisticated collections of the jeweler which included pieces with diamonds and south sea pearls. 

     Celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2012, MYGOLD is proud to have 15 branches all over the country, earning the trust of its clients through the years as they were also able to provide certificates for diamond purchases and other jewelry items.

• All MYGOLD pieces are made out of love, wherein aside from offering beautiful designs and guaranteeing the best materials to be used, the jeweler also assures clients of great value for money.

• The advantage of MYGOLD’s wedding ring and engagement rings is that it makes use of fine GIA certified diamonds and are able to provide certificates for most of the jewelry that they sell. You can customize a jewelry if you want to have your personal touch to be added to the piece.

6 Modern Ways to Wear Pearls

     Long before pearls starting gracing fashion magazines and movie premiers, men and women throughout history have been coveting them for their lustrous natural beauty. The poster child of timeless elegance, these organic gems have slowly been making their presence known in the past few years – most recently, on the 2015 Oscar Awards. But pearls don’t necessarily have to be limited to glamorous awards shows. Let’s take a look at some modern ways that pearl jewelry can best be worn.

The Double Drape

     If you’ve got a single-strand pearl rope necklace, it can be given a whole new feel just by looping and draping it twice around your neck. While it works great with turtlenecks or other tops with high necklines, it provides a modern look with a sexy allure when worn underneath a blouse with the top buttons popped open to just the right level.

The Larger, the Better

     Larger pearls make a bold statement and complement outfits of neutral colors quite nicely. Large chunky bracelets are often showcased best when worn with short-sleeved tops whereas big pearl earrings can complete a sophisticated formal look.

6 Modern Ways to Wear Pearls

Romantic with Ribbons

     Wearing pearls with accessories of varying textures dresses up even the most casual outfits. While online pearl necklace stores usually have an abundance of necklaces with pearls and diamonds, ribbons and pearls work just as perfectly for that date-night ensemble. The combination of the soft fabric of ribbons and the hard sheen of pearls can add up to a romantic and whimsical piece to be pulled off even when wearing everyday outfits.

On Accessories

     Wearing pearls doesn’t have to be limited to the most common ways of wearing jewelry. Pearls can be added as embellishments on shoes, belts, watch straps, and even on hats. Add a touch of elegance to your look by wearing a pearl headband, or go the glamorous route by carrying a pearl clutch.

6 Modern Ways to Wear Pearls

On Clothes

     Taking a cue from pearl accessories, these lustrous gems can also be sewed directly onto the fabric of your clothes. If Lupita Nyong’o’s red carpet stunner of a gown wasn’t proof enough that this works, try telling that to the fashion police. Different-sized pearls on the breasts of a cotton sweater can take it a level up from comfort casual, while pearls on denim overalls have been taken off the runway and onto the streets in trendy everyday wear.

Pinned on Hair

     Hair pins with single pearls look great on messy buns and chignons, and gives a fun and carefree vibe to your crowning glory. It may take a while for all of them to be removed afterwards and you may need to be extra careful about where you lay your head on while wearing them, but the look speaks for itself.

     Pearls are a lot more versatile than most people give them credit and can be used for more than just formal occasions. Whether you wear yours in a more traditional way or with a more edgy feel, pearl jewelry pieces are a must-have for every girl’s accessories box.

     And lastly this very elegant nail file came from Czech Republic!!! I won this from Chic and Sassy Homemakers Mont Bleu Giveaway! This is something new for me because it's not an ordinary nail file. It is made from glass and has the unique design- SWAROVSKI CRYSTALS.

     The nail file is very gorgeous that I'm just planning to display it. I don't want to use this coz I'm afraid that I will misplace the stones unconsciously while filing my nails. Haha! The mini nail file is very cuteee! Small enough to place inside my pocket or inside my makeup pouch.

     That's all for now. Thank you so much to these lovely bloggers for having awesome giveaways. 

Good Times!~
