Investing in jewelry pays dividends.

Precious stones, gemstones, and jewelry have always been connected to human culture since time immemorial. These beautiful adornments continue to hold real meaning and value. Throughout the course of history, jewelry has been offered as a trophy, an amulet, and sometimes, even art. It perfectly symbolizes love, a celebration of milestones, and of course, the ultimate representation of wealth.

The line between jewelry and money has always been intertwined with each other. To this day, jewelry continues to be used as currency, inheritance, and investment. But investing in jewelry requires the right knowledge and responsibility. It is a wise and valuable asset to have as it continues to grow in value every year. In fact, many investors prefer investing in jewelry more because it is less risky than other markets.

Interestingly enough, while the value of the world’s currencies constantly fluctuates, gold, diamonds, and other precious metals and stones, on the other hand, has remained stable. Despite the many global economic downturns, including the current pandemic that has severely affected the world’s economies, the value of jewelry has held strong.

Though the price of gold, gold jewelry, diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, and other gemstones and precious stones also fluctuates, its value however has never truly depreciated significantly. Their value continues to steadily appreciate over time.

“What’s beautiful about investing in jewelry is that it is timeless and its value does not diminish. Real jewelry becomes more valuable over time and it is a great investment asset to have as it pays dividends in the future,” said Tyzianna Teves of Just Jewels.

From November 23 to 29, 2020, Just Jewels, one of the country’s highly respected stores of real and authentic jewelry, will be holding their Bright Beginnings Black Friday Grand Sale on Facebook, www.justjewels.com.ph, and at all the Just Jewels branches nationwide. The Grand All Out Sale will likewise guest Sofia Andres in the Facebook Live selling event on November 23, November 27, and November 29. There will also be raffle prizes, games, and many more exciting activities for the attendees.

Robinsons Red Hot Sale - Get the Best Deals for Everyone!

I'll be honest: I'm not very picky when it comes to sales. I see a sale, and I automatically just go for it. However, there is something absolutely comforting and awesome when an entire mall goes on sale.

So, when I heard about the Robinsons Red Hot Sale going on at Robinsons Malls this month; I jumped at the chance to shop til I dropped… even though it meant heading all the way to the North for it. No regrets! RAWR!

The Robinsons Red Hot Sale is happening at Robinsons Malls from August 1 to 31

What I love the most about the Red Hot Sale is that I have free reign over which stores I want to visit. In other words, I get to cater to my own needs, as well as to the needs of the people that I love the most.

Here are the best finds that I came across during my last visit to Robinsons Malls:

Dolls at Toys 'R' Us

Since I am the mom of a 4-year-old daughter, this really shouldn't come as a surprise. Although I will never understand my daughter's fascination with 'weird' dolls like Bratzillas and Moxie Girlz, who am I to deprive her of what she wants when they're at 50% off? What a steal!

Having a daughter didn't stop me from going through the boys' section to feed my geeky heart, either. While I didn't buy anything here, I still jumped in excitement when I saw Transformers figures on sale:

And check out this uber cool Iron Man mask! The geekery was almost too much for me to handle!!!

Skin Care Items at The Body Shop

For my mom - the skin care and beauty addict - I visited The Body Shop. Best. Decision. Ever. Why? Coz most of their items are at Buy 1 Get 1 Free, which means that I ended up getting something for myself for every item that I got my mom. Score!

You haven't lived 'til you've tried these salt scrubs.

Or smelled this perfume.

I was a lil tempted to buy my sibling some makeup coz it was on Buy 1 Get 1 Free, as well.

This body butter that I used to swear by is available at 40% off, as well. I have to say: The Body Shop is the shop that I had the hardest time tearing myself away from. I actually found myself thinking back into the recesses of my bathroom cabinet to figure out if I would need to restock anything within the next 12 months. Might as well do it now while everything's a steal, right? :p

Clothes at G2000

For myself and my favorite guy in the world, I went nuts at G2000. I originally entered the store because literally the whole store is on sale - mostly at 50% off pa. Plus, I saw these beautiful dresses on display and God knows I need to dress a lil older and more effeminate.

I was very happy to see a bit later on that they weren't just about dresses and formal clothes, though. In fact, G2000 has some great casual finds available and I ended up stocking up on different colored shorts to mix and match with my favorite closet basics instead of going for the dresses. Whoops!

I also threw in a pair of pants and a couple of shirts for my guy coz hello! SALE! (I really don't think I need more of a reason than that.)

I only had a very limited time to go around the mall and check out the Red Hot Sale, but I promise you: I will definitely be back to shop some more next week. Will share more finds with you then! :)

For now, feel free to follow Robinsons Malls' Facebook page, Twitter page and Instagram page for more updates! :)

I've got a thing for rings.

I've got a thing for rings. In fact, I'd go so far as to say I'm a ring whore. If you've seen my fingers in real life, you'll know this is quite sad, though, seeing as I have the thinnest fingers in the universe.

I wear a size 4 when it comes to rings. In jewelry language, this means that I have the ring size of a 10-year-old. In other words, whenever I walk into beautiful ring stores like Pandora, I can't find anything that I can buy coz every single ring there is simply too big for me.

When guys buy me rings, like the Lord of the Rings ring seen above, they are so big that I have to resort to wearing them around my neck or risk losing them for life by wearing them.

This is why I have so many random rings, most of which are adjustable:

Or are connected, so I have a better grip on them:

Then there are the very rare cases where I find XS sizes or at least S sizes, which fit my other fingers:

As such, I have also ended up with a ton of rings in my drawers, some of which were gifts from people who have never seen my tiny fingers and have therefore gone completely unused and some of which I only bought to look at coz they were just that pretty. #dontjudge

As such, I figured I should have a ring sale online. My only question is: would anyone actually be interested in that? I'm a bit hesitant to sell stuff online coz I feel like I'd just be wasting my time. Lol. If enough people are interested, though, I'll definitely do it. :) Who's up for a ring sale? :D

P.S. Speaking of rings… :)

Create your own engagement ring with Modern Design Inc. - 5 star service, great prices. It's like having your own personal jeweler.
