Crazy Rich Emerald Ring

10.07.2018 by Leah // Leave a Comment

I'm one of those excited to see 'Crazy Rich Asians' the movie because I've read the book, and I can just imagine how spectacular and well, crazy, it would look on the big screen! Glad to say that the movie did not disappoint.  It was beautifully made, and every scene was filled with colorful and 'branded' details (hehe!) that I had to watch it again for details I may have ...

08.21.2016 by Leah // Leave a Comment

The interest in our Stackable Perky Rings v.2 is slowly building up, and I'm glad to be interacting with those who love ring jewelry as much as I do! I'm sharing with you some of the ring orders we've taken in the past months, which also marked the addition of  Garnet and Peridot among the most requested gemstones: I'm looking forward to receiving ...

3-Way Emerald and Pearl Earrings

07.30.2016 by Leah // Leave a Comment

Sometime last month, I found hidden among my jewelry cleaning clothes a pair of pearl jackets I have used for another earrings (now sold).  The pearls are of south sea variety, bought in Davao City. I thought they looked lonely, so I asked my jeweler partner to make stud emerald earrings for me which I planned on pairing up with my pearl jackets. The result is a beautiful ... READ MORE

Enchanting Emeralds

07.10.2016 by Leah // Leave a Comment

Lately I've been filling my Instagram feed with pictures of emerald jewelry, all taken with my Lenovo Vibe Shot android camera phone. I am simply hooked on their lush green color, and the emerald shape added a timeless appeal to this May birthstone: For price inquiries, email me at dbrightspot@gmail.com. ... READ MORE

Stackable Perky Rings v.2

04.30.2016 by Leah // 1 Comment

I launched my first batch of Stackable Perky Rings in January last year and while it received a lot of inquiries from readers and friends alike, it did not generate the number of orders I expected. I believe it was the price of the rings (sold individually at Php15,000.00 each) that was the setback.  But my partner and I couldn't afford to pull the price further down due ... READ MORE

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 ...

Mystic Biron Emeralds

06.27.2014 by Leah // 4 Comments

My dream gemstone is actually not diamond but emerald.  One of my wishes is to own Colombian emeralds - the purest emeralds in the world - prized for their superb quality, color intensity and brilliance. Natural emeralds, which are green varieties of the beryl mineral stones, are very, very difficult to source now.  This scarcity has resulted in it being even more ... READ MORE

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 ❤
