Mabuhay!

Welcome to THE STUDIO where creativity and self-expression are always encouraged and celebrated. As a lover of art, design, and jewelry, I grew up fascinated by the way my dad could turn beautiful gems into something truly magical. With practice and perseverance, I pursued art and design as my major in college and even made jewelry the subject of my thesis project. Whether you're seeking advice on choosing the perfect jewelry or wanting to make your own unique design, I'll be here to support you and share my passion with you through this website.
