Pretty Little Trinkets

Sometimes I find it funny that while I studied Business Economics in UP Diliman, and took my MBA at AIM, here I am now, a housewife, preoccupied with this fashion blog, writing about cuteness and whatever I fancy for Sanriotown, and coming out with stories on fashion for the Radar/Philippine Star. It's funny because I have never been at my happiest "career-wise" than I am now. I am doing the things that I love, what I've always wanted to do, and I feel so lucky! Not to say I regret the years I've spent staring at financial statements, doing projections, researching and writing project proposals, etc. because down the road, I know that I will go into running my own business and all that discipline will come in handy.

So it was doubly amusing when I re-connected with an old classmate from college, Paul Syjuco, who also strayed away from the typical career path that Econ majors take. He became a G.I.A. trained gemologist and jewelry designer after a stint in the financial markets, realizing that he needed a creative outlet. Then again, he is also a third generation jeweler so design and an appreciation for stones is in his DNA. Check out some of his designs:













While he has ready-made pieces available in his store, he also makes bespoke jewelry and it takes approximately four to six weeks to have your own custom creation. For more about Paul's designs, check out his site here or visit:
