Some like it Vintage
Erica Concepcion is inspired when she sees clients wearing her Riqueza jewelry and finds it most fulfilling when they return. Specializing in vintage and estate jewelry, which she wears with aplomb whenever one sees her in the best social events of the season, she explains, “Beautiful jewelry adds joy and beauty to life.”
Erica also carries her own line of sparkling, high-end designs in a private showroom located in
Salcedo Village. It is open by appointment only and can be contacted through riquezainquiries@gmail.com or IG: Riqueza Jewellery.
Well-curated jewelry pieces
Gemological Institute America (GIA) graduate Suzette Malig Ayson is always pleased to see her jewelry creations being complimented and becoming staples in her clients’ wardrobes. One can find an interesting, sparkling mix of designs at the JMA shop located in EDSA Shangri-La Hotel with a wide array of custom-made engagement rings, colored stones and lustrous baroque pearls being top choices.
Suzette enthuses, “What inspires me to make beautiful jewelry pieces are men and women who constantly push themselves to look good and complement their fashion with well-curated pieces.”

Custom handmade jewelry
Charming duo Kathy Añover and Kathy Babst were best friends in school and current partners in a jewelry line that specializes in custom handmade jewelry, Kathy and Kathy. They use filigree and carved gold to produce original and oftentimes intricate designs that go well with the revitalized trend of wearing Filipiniana as well as modern apparel.
These versatile jewelers can make their designs in silver vermeil, or 14k to 18k gold depending on one’s budget. Añover enthuses, “One of the most rewarding things during production of a new collection is discovering our team’s capacity to bring a design rendering to life. The pride that our goldsmiths feel for craftsmanship skills they didn’t know they had is priceless.”
