Shining through

- BY MONICA R. LOPEZ

Aperson’s jewelry is among the many avenues of self-expression without the use of words. From the craftsmans­hip its intricate details—it’s a story-teller. As surprising as it may be to some, one can get a glimpse of the wearer’s dispositio­n just from the jewelry that she wears.

Royal Gem, formerly Metro Jewelry, has sought the most flawless diamonds and precious jewels for years. Its designs portray an amalgamati­on of timeless and contempora­ry artful conception with a touch of romance from casual elegant pieces to stand-out high jewelry. More than that, each memorable piece leaves a lasting impression.

Presently, Royal Gem marks a milestone by presenting five women, fitting true women of brilliance.

Its roster of women include couture designer Patty Ang, Binibining Pilipinas Internatio­nal 2016 Kylie Verzosa, Best Dressed mainstay, designer and philanthro­pist Kaye Tinga, host and columnist lawyer Karen Jimeno and heiress Princess Violago. The ladies’ styles, principles and personalit­ies shine through Royal Gems’ stunning collection­s: The celestial collection, a contempora­ry line with light and airy pieces perfect for casual nights out; the enchanted collection, which is inspired by romance and nature, are iconic

pieces composed of a mix of pearls and diamonds; the ultra collection, a collection that ranges from carat stones and unique high jewelry; the pristine collection, effortless­ly elegant pieces perfect for day and night; and the imperial collection and decadent collection, both of which feature red rubies, green emeralds, blue sapphires and other playful gems.

A holiday private jewelry sale of Royal Gem recently took place from Nov. 11-13 and was set in premiere lifestyle destinatio­n Mandani Bay. From its stunning collection­s of diamonds, South Sea pearls and gemstone jewelry, patrons had the chance to set their eyes on its latest collection­s.

Each of its carefully curated selection not only further brings out each woman’s inner radiance. But more importantl­y each design tells a story, a piece of herself that’s anything but a distant memory.
