Curated jewelry picks for every celebration
Jewelry has always been more than just an accessory. Yes, the right piece may elevate and add sparkle to any look, fetch a high price as an investment piece, or even commemorate a milestone. But practical reasons aside, it carries emotion. It tells a story. It holds the memory of the hands that shaped it and of the person who selected it with care and intention.
But gifting jewelry isn’t just for partners celebrating their forever, or families passing down heirlooms. The path can flow upwards and onwards: daughters gifting their mothers jewelry, bought with their first paycheck; friends choosing matching pieces for each other to celebrate their friendship; or even a gift to oneself to celebrate something special, something significant. It speaks volumes, not with words, but with a timeless elegance that befits its wearer.
Not sure where to begin? Here are some standout jewelry pieces that are sure to shine as brightly as the people wearing them.
- Rainbow Colored Stone Tennis Bracelet
With delicate lines of gemstones set in a continuous, flexible circle, the tennis bracelet is a symbol of love, just like its ring counterpart. Traditionally, it was often worn stacked with other bracelets, but it looks just as lovely on its own.
And while the classic version features an inlay of diamonds, this vibrant iteration by F&C Jewelry dazzles in a rainbow of colored stones, set in 18K yellow gold. It even comes with a secure lock to ensure that the bracelet stays perfectly in place.
- Elise Dangling Earrings
As the finest of tourmalines, Paraíba is prized for its rarity and bright, electric blue hue, making it a highly coveted choice among collectors and jewelry connoisseurs.
Mirroring its striking color, Pristine Paradigm’s dangling earrings use a more affordable alternative: lab-grown garnet in Paraíba-inspired tones. Though distinctly different from the Paraíba tourmaline, the earrings capture the same electric blue vibrance at first glance, featuring radiant cut stones set in a 92.5 sterling silver base, electroplated with 18K gold or platinum.
- Mix and Match Multi-colored Gemstone Earrings
Designed by Candy Dizon, daughter of renowned jeweler Jul B Dizon, these candy-colored (pun intended) earrings feature dangling multi-colored gemstones in different shapes, set in yellow gold.
Thoughtfully curated to suit different occasions—whether it’s an easy daytime outfit, a corporate look, or even an extravagant little number that calls for a chic accessory—these earrings are, by their very nature, meant to be mixed and matched.
- Teardrop Sapphire and Freshwater Pearl Necklace
For those whose birthdays fall on September or have an affinity for blue gems, this F&C Jewelry number takes inspiration from the sea with a teardrop sapphire pendant that sits on a delicate chain, lined with small freshwater pearls for a soft, luminous finish. It’s effortless, chic, and a timeless piece that fits any occasion.
- Calla Dangling Earrings (Alexandrite)
Lab-grown alexandrite, a more affordable alternative to its natural counterpart (especially when more vibrant), is showcased in Pristine Paradigm’s dangling earrings. Set in 92.5 sterline silver, electroplated in 18K gold or platinum, each earring features a emerald-cut, lab-grown alexandrite that changes color, depending on the light.
- Australian Black Opal Brooch with Diamonds and Pearls
Brooches are more than just decorative pins. They’re statement pieces that call attention. Whether timeless and classic, or modern and bold, they add color to any look, elevate any outfit, and draw attention with a touch of personality and elegance.
Another piece by Jul B Dizon, this time designed by Janina Dizon, a third-generation jeweler and gemologist, this antique-style brooch features a setting of 18K white and black gold, inlaid with a mix of diamonds and pearls that frame two impressive Australian black opals that shift and shimmer with touches of green and blue hues.
- Kite-shaped Emerald Earrings
Taking on a modern, geometric approach, these earrings—designed by Ginny Dizon—make up the many offerings of Jul B Dizon’s collection. A jewelry design and rare gem collector, she puts kite-shaped emeralds in the spotlight, framing them with melee diamonds around, alongside two matching kite-shaped diamonds, all of which are set in 18K yellow gold.
- White Jadeite and Carved Green Jade Brooch
Believed to be symbols of luck and prosperity, especially in Chinese culture, jade is dubbed as the “Stone of Heaven,” with each color representing a virtue: green for vitality, lavender for serenity, and black for protection. It’s why many choose to wear jade—whether as a bangle, necklace, or even as earrings.
This dragonfly brooch, designed by Lucille Dizon, is made up of vibrant carved green jade for wings—accented by melee diamonds for a sparkly touch—while the body is made up of round white jadeite with alternating diamonds in between. All this is set in 18K white gold, which lend a touch of timeless elegance that highlight the intricate details that go in this piece.
- Round Bamboo Ladies Ring
This Round Bamboo Ladies Ring by F&C Jewelry takes inspiration from the resilient shape of bamboo, with clean rounded lines and gentle curves that rest delicately on your finger. It also mirrors the structural tones of the brand’s Holiday 2025 Collection, while echoing good craftsmanship and excellence.
- The Noël Pendant
No jewelry gift guide is complete without highlighting the one gem that the Philippines is known for: the South Sea pearl. Shining a light on this softly luminous gem is Jeweler, whose designs frame this golden pearl in settings that befit its timeless beauty.
In Jewelmer’s festive Noël collection, the joy of the holidays is condensed into necklaces that are delicately fashioned by hand. Imaginative designs cradle the South Sea pearl, evoking playfulness and joy as little cherubs, angels, or even snowflakes—each accompanied by a delicate, thin yellow gold chain.
