Holiday Shine and more...

I have to thank Jewelmer for introducing me to the wonderful world of pearls—golden pearls to be exact. Owning pieces from this Philippine South Sea pearl jeweler has become a part of my wish list. And now, I want them even more, after seeing the 2011 collections, which was showcased at an exclusive event recently.


Jewelmer presented three collections, each having a unique inspiration that served as the foundation for each set. The “Buona Annata” pays tribute to the fine art of winemaking, with each piece created to mimic that of freshly picked grapes. Cascading golden pearls in different sizes, attached to a diamond-encrusted “vine,” is the predominant design for this group.

The “Rosone” revolves around ethereal flowers that are seen on most stained glass windows of cathedrals. These intricately lace-shaped rings, earrings, and pendants are a perfect match for those who love history, art, and religion.

But what got everyone really excited were the cocktail rings from the “Lautitia” collection. Jewelmer has always presented expertly handcrafted earrings and necklaces, but we couldn’t be more elated with this latest addition. Host Bianca Valerio adds, “I personally love the Lautitia collection of cocktail rings, because it has made Jewelmer’s designs more mainstream, young, and playful, while still being opulent and sophisticated.”

A favorite of most attendees was the floral cocktail ring with five petals filled with colored stones, and one petal that has diamonds and slightly lifted higher than the other five petals—surely a ring that will surely make people take notice.  Here's Liza Ilarde of thefashpack clearly enjoying the baubles :) They're so fun and pretty :D
