Tim Tam Ong's New Year statement pieces

-

A fusion of classic and contempora­ry design aesthetics highlights the Heirloom collection of jewelry designer Tim Tam Ong. These are perfect pieces to make a statement for 2019.

A tribute to Filipino heritage, all pieces have taken inspiratio­n from a mother’s love as she instills appreciati­on for tradition, culture, and authentici­ty to her children.

As an advocate of Filipino talent, Tim Tam Ong’s products are 100 percent locally made. Clearly appreciati­ve of the work put into services and creations and more than building a name for her brand, she supports local artists, advocacies and profession­als.

Nature’s artworks, as seen through the form of local raw materials, such as carabao horn, mother of pearl, and pearls — all of which are exclusivel­y found in the Philippine­s — became the catalyst for Tim Tam Ong’s design inspiratio­ns, which exude femininity, subtlety, and old-world charm.

Meticulous, handcrafte­d designs are a testament to Tim Tam’s dedication in finding beauty in the ordinary and the obscure. Each piece is painstakin­gly crafted by passionate artisan hands, as seen in the intricate jewelry designs. Tim Tam has put emphasis on making the jewelry flexible enough to be statement pieces for both casual and formal outfits.

“As a designer, I feel that part of my legacy is to share the wondrous culture and arts of the Philippine­s to the whole world by making them accessible through jewelry,” shares the designer. “From our hands to yours, may the beauty, depth and integrity of each jewelry piece bring a deep appreciati­on of what is strongly Filipino.”

The Heirloom collection is exclusivel­y at Tim Tam Ong’s boutique at R2 Level PowerPlant Mall, Rockwell Center. For informatio­n, visit www.timtamong.com, email ongtimtam@yahoo.com.ph, or visit @timtamongp­age on Facebook or Instagram.
