Hail the Queen of Gems!
Over 750 notable personalities graced the second annual Jewelmer Gala held at the NBC Tent to launch Jewelmer Joaillerie’s Spring/Summer Collection 2014. With the theme, “l’accessoire dans tous ses états†or the accessory in all its states, the event formally launched the Charleston, Guimard, Madame de Pompadour and C’est la Vie collections together with the Tropics, Rosone, Petite Fleur, Dolce Rosa and Via Rosa.
The South Sea pearl jewelry was presented in all its incarnations that included a parade of masks, pearl-studded dresses, capes and even a show-stopping headpiece. A grand fashion show featuring the Joaillerie-inspired creations of Rhett Eala, Patrice Ramos-Diaz, Randy Ortiz, Ivarluski Aseron, JC Buendia, Francis Libiran, Albert Andrada, Jojie Lloren and Jun Escario was also staged.
International guests were chauffeured in by Jaguar and Moët Hennessy ensured that every glass was full of Belvedere and Grand Marnier, while a delectable gourmet spread by Margarita Fores awaited guests after the show.
Present at the gala were Jewelmer’s managing director Jacques Branellec, president Manuel Cojuangco, ivory-skinned consultant Baby Cruz and creative director Gaelle Branellec, and Ambassadors Gilles Garachon of France and Guy Ledoux of the European Union.
Established in Manila by a French pearl farmer and a Filipino entrepreneur, Jewelmer has grown into a global luxury brand and a purveyor of South Sea pearls. It also celebrates the success of the world’s first jewelry co-branded MasterCard with the Jewelmer Joaillerie Platinum MasterCard powered by PNB Allied Bank.
Congratulations to Jewelmer!
