Trollbeads Leather Bracelet in Beige + Silver Trace Bead in Cerise (Blue)

The entire content of this entry has been transferred to my new blog, please read here.

I started my obsession with Trollbeads at the beginning of the year, I thought my <3 for it will waver but apparently, it did not. I continue to buy beads if I have extra money or charge it to my credit card if I don't have enough ; p

Little did I know that the company who brought Trollbeads here in the Philippines was closely monitoring the progress of my latest addiction. And as a way of thanking me for appreciating their brand, I received a gift - a bracelet leather in beige with a Silver Trace in Cerise/Blue (61361) bead.

I passed by Trollbeads boutique in Robinsons Magnolia many times but it was only last Sunday when I was able to enter the store. I was amazed at the display inside. Imagine, a crown ring with a dust of shimmering gold, calling for my attention a la Confessions of a Shopaholic hahaha Of course, I also took notice of the different Trollbeads available.

I was able to inquire about the brand, where it came from and what it's made of. One of the SAs patiently discussed the brand with me. Trollbeads' "bead on bracelet" concept definitely piqued my curiosity but that day, I went home empty-handed.

 Special Edition Trollbeads Luck and Joy Starter Bracelet (TB50540) PhP 8280 5,395

The next morning, I searched online and found out that Trollbeads originated in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1976- the year I was born! The first bead made was a small, silver bead decorated with 6 faces that, well, look like a troll hence the name Trollbeads.

In 2002, the first glass bead was made, like the one shown in the photo above. I was totally in awe while watching the video on how a piece of glass bead was made so I made a decision to buy one for myself ; p

Jewelmer Pearl Care Kit

Late last year, I got a text from Jewelmer that I have a pearl care kit waiting for me in their Eastwood branch. At first, I thought it was dubious. But then I was assured that I don't have to buy anything and that it's just a simple token to their customers. So, I went and got my kit! No hassle at all.

I was only able to use it this week to clean all my pearls ; ) It was so easy to use.

My event: June 22, 2010

BUM Equipment Blogger's Night

Columbus Hall 42nd Flr.
Discovery Suites
25 ADB Ave. Ortigas Center, Pasig City

It was a surprise for me to see BUM Equipment hosting the fashion show, the invite didn't state the brand name of the clothing company. 

BUM Equipment is getting edgier and trendier with their latest collections called Collar- Ups and Goth. 

DH is a metrosexual/fashionista. He is always in the know. And I though DH was just being his wacky self when I saw him with his collar up in one of our dates. I even kidded him that he looked Japanese and he seemed please with my comment lol I was not able to take a picture though ; (

Addicted to pearls: Fresh Water Pearls

I had Ding Velayo, Inc. , a jeweller in Greenhills Shopping Center, replaced the old gold plated earring post and earnuts to a 14k or 585 white gold for only PhP4, 000. My earrings were stamped with the numbers 585 meaning its 58.5% or 14 karat gold. Their logo was also stamped on the earnuts.

replaced ear post and earnuts PhP4, 000 at Ding Velayo, Inc.; restringing of Princess pearls with knots in between PhP400

Ding Velayo, Inc. also does restringing of pearls. I had mine restring by their staff named Jane. She did a wonderful job tying knots in between my pearls. To prevent the danger of losing all the pearls when the thread is broken, pearls should have knots in between. Restringing should be done every year or every other year depending on how often you wear your pearls. Cleaning your pearls with chamois help keep its luster. Wear your pearls often to keep it moist with your body oil.
