We went here on 16 Feb 2018, which is a Chinese New Year, and the rings were ready for pick-up in less than 10 days. The diamonds were flawless! We even got the exact design we wanted. We highly recommend Helen Jewelry shop to couples who want to customize their wedding rings, and can choose from many different styles depending on their budget.

They have a lot of items to choose from which are guaranteed to be of great quality. Only mirage jewels has offered me authentic Japanese gold, which is my favorite, i buy k18 Japan gold necklaces and bracelets from them, which are always flawless in quality compared to other shops. I last visited their shop on June 29, 2019. Their staffs kindly accommodated me and took the time to suggest designs suited for me. I had a great experience choosing from designs i really want, unlike shops in malls who charge very high markups and offer few designs for customers. I always trust Mirage jewels when it comes to jewelry. We recommend mirage jewels for customers and wholesalers alike who want quality, affordable jewelry.

Compared to its neighboring businesses in the area, Wellmanson presents itself like a glittering,…read moregolden boutique staffed by well-dressed ladies in blazers and pencil skirts assisting you in buying stuff you likely don't really need. Sure you might have just come in to get a pair of nice pliers or leatherette cord to make accessories with, but you will be bewildered with the wealth of other DIY craft items and supplies and gift items in general. Where else would you be able say "Look at these beads!" and "Check out this dog hair trimmer!" in the same breath? They have mini water fountains, and toy brick sets, and thighmasters and who knows what else. They're like a mini-mall oasis in the middle of Quiapo. The place is somewhat labyrinthine in structure, and while it is fun to look around and see what the next room holds, it does get confusing if you're really looking for something specific. Their payment system is also a bit of a pain--though professional looking, it's a little cumbersome to line up to get your items priced, *and then* have to pay for them in a separate line. Also, there are these curious pulley baskets that have ropes leading to dark holes in the ceiling... You know if you're going to browse through stores in Quiapo and DV and its nearby areas that you're just getting into a trap, because if you think you're window shopping without buying anything, you're kidding yourself. Wellmanson knows this for a fact and has set out to have you do exactly that.

Hear ye, hear ye, passionate beaders. Feeling a bit crafty?…read more The whole stretch of the street where Wellmanson is located is full of shops selling beads and whatnot! Villalobos Street is the place to be if you are looking for new craft projects, specially accessories. It's the disneyland of crafter's everywhere. I've lost one whole day just going through each one of he shops in there, checking out the craft supplies and beads. Wellmanson's my favourite store so far and the biggest I've been into among the ones on the street. I've never seen so many craft supplies in one store. Beads of all kind and sizes are found there, prices ranging from very cheap to expensive ones like the swarovski. I went here one Saturday afternoon and it was packed with manangs like me :p They have ready made accessories like necklaces, watches and bracelets... but the best part of the store for me is where they sell the raw materials. Twines, nylons, charms, beads.. the whole nine yards of it. They even have those hooks for earrings and locks for bracelets, of different sizes, color and shapes. They also have those organizer where you can keep your beads inside, pattern boards, tools like pliers. I enjoyed myself too much shopping in there :)

One of the things that the Muslim traders of Quiapo are known for are the pearls that they bring in…read morefrom down south. There are may different types of pearls that come in all sizes, shapes and colors. For those looking to buy pearl necklaces or ear rings, there is a shop near that Quiapo bridge that showcases a fine collection of pearls. Known as El Asia Pearl Shop, one can browse at a wide collection and watch their artisans assemble necklaces. You can even have your own necklace handmade for you after picking from their stock of cultured pearls. While Japan has traditionally been the source of the world's best pearls, it is not generally known that the Philippines also has a thriving pearl industry. Most have heard of the Pearl Farm in Davao, but only as a high class resort, which it is. But there are large and small farms where cultured pearls are raised. At the El Asia Pearl Shop, you can see the end products. So-called "perfect" pearls may be pricey, with a lot going to the export market, but what is available here is still beautiful when placed in the hands of an artisan who knows how to bring out their natural beauty.

Street Market in Manila Philippines…read more This is the largest street market in Manila. When i hear people say "mura" (cheap) I immediately think of Divisoria where you can haggle for the final price. The place is dirty and crowded and hot but it was fun seeing the many vendors and browsing through the many merchandise. We had our cousin come with us and she was the one who haggled for us LoL! I actually found some cool items here including clothing, and knock off "authentic replica" stuff. LoL! We also found a classic mahjong set for mom and a nice embroidered "barong Tagalog" (a traditional Filipino attire) for my brother-in-law for P450 which equals to $8. Oh man, we tried some street food too like corn on the cob, melon juice and Calamansi juice. I could shop and eat here all day. The place is huge. There are banks accessible around if we wanted to exchange currency. All cash here so bring enough. I guarantee you will not leave here empty handed. Review #3289

The 24K gold is better than I had imagined and the design on the pendant is just flawless. It's slightly scratched from the years of usage but I think that this gives it character. The chain recently broke but the store was very professional and knowledgeable in helping me get it fixed. Now it's as good as new.

There's really nothing skillful or crafty about it, but it's fun to do with stuff that are pretty but you have no idea what to do with them. And I don't know anywhere else to get small chains but in Quiapo, at Joyo Fashion Accessories. It's very easy to miss this store walking along Evangelista St. from the Recto LRT Station, since it's covered by the area's wealth of stands hawking religious items, flowers, and candles, but it's not hard to find, really, since it's near the church and one of few stalls there that aren't selling construction supplies or phones and gadgets. If you've ever been around the stores in Quiapo, it's very much like most other places there, just stacks and racks and walls of stuff everywhere. You see necklaces, earrings, rings, and other accessories first before you get to the actual good stuff--beads, charms, trinkets, lace, cording, and other things you'll need to make your own jewelry. There are other places in the area selling similar things, but Joyo has an advantage being closer to Recto Station, and being in the somehow calmer, less dense area of Quiapo.
