Blue topaz comes in various hues of blue: from naturally light to greenish blue to sky blue to ocean blue to royal blue.  But here's what you should know: deeper ... READ MORE

Remember the enamel pendants I purchased last year?  I have been receiving requests for another group buy and I am beyond flattered for these.  But since I took on a new job responsibility last January, my work schedule has been taking most of my free time that I could not find time for it anymore (boo!). So allow me to make bawi to some of you who have been looking forward ... READ MORE

Blue Sapphire: A Gemstone of Love

Maleficent’s Fire

04.12.2015 by Leah // 2 Comments

The green fire of Maleficent inspired the creation of this jewelry setting using beautiful Biron emeralds (check out my first emerald jewelry feature HERE). The idea was to create a jewelry setting inspired by Maleficent (Angelina Jolie's version).  It has to display power, fierce, drama and flamboyance - Maleficent's defining characteristics.  Big Biron emeralds ...

Stackable Perky Rings

01.15.2015 by Leah // 3 Comments

I have long loved the idea of building up my finger bling and then interchange them to make it appear that I'm wearing a different kind of ring every day.  I shared this 'idea' to my partner jeweler and showed her my pegs (including Tiffany's Celebration Rings) and together, we came up with these solid 14k white gold rings with colorful gemstones as a way to celebrate the ...

9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi 9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi came to us super dirty (gusgusin to the max), malnourished and is in bad need of treatment for worms and fleas. Who would've thought that she will bloom into a really pretty cat, with salmon-colored nose, beautiful doe eyes, a prominent white hair scarf, and powdery white cheeks. 

But she is very far from innocent, and is now feared by the male cats here twice her size because she is #GigitheCatBully pala 😅 

Happy 9th monthsary, Gigi Ganda 🥰

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

~

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
