Palawan's Best

I was invited earlier last month to a luncheon at Terrace on the 5th hosted by Jewelmer.

Don't you just love our table setting? Golden pearls from Palawan were placed in these tiny bowls :)

Through Jewelmer, I've come to realize how amazing pearls are. Pearls, like diamonds, are a girl’s best friend. Whether you want to keep it simple with a single strand or you’re going for extravagance by piling them on, wearing pearls adds a classic and elegant vibe to your ensemble of choice.

A great place to go to for pearl-shopping would be Jewelmer, a brand that proudly boasts of producing one of the best Palawan pearls. For this holiday season, gift-giving is made easier with the Noël pendant (a great way to start wearing pearls, which is perfect for newbies) and gift certificates with denominations of P5,000 and P10,000.

Ladies who are fans of the design house would love to know that they have released their Premier 2010 collection: The Rivage Perle (Pearl Shores), Riviere des Perles (River of Pearls) and Harlequin necklaces. Overflowing with lustrous golden Palawan South Sea pearls and set with sparkling diamond and 18-karat yellow gold, the Premier collection shows off the exceptional craftsmanship of their mastercraftsman Paul Gächter.
