My cousin from Bacolod loves this shop. When she comes to visit, I get to take her around Makati…read more She always has to stop by this store. I'm not really into fashion, but I've learned how to appreciate the items in this shop. Honestly, the only reason I come to Aldo Accessories is to check their rings out. It's pretty pricey compared to other shops that sell rings that aren't exactly real and aren't also fake. But the designs of Aldo Accessories are so pretty. The rings are elegant but don't look old. They're also really classy but they do not call attention to themselves. If you collect rings like I do, visit this shop. Almost every month they have new designs. If you're not into rings, they do have other items like sunglasses and watches. Yes, it's a store for men and women.

If you are not content with their display items, you can choose designs from brochures. They also do custom made designs if you want a particular finish, thickness or gem to make your jewelry truly your own. We were quite late in buying our wedding rings (late as usual, LOL). It was good we ended up going to their shop in February though. All their jewelry was on sale! Discounts were from 20% to 60%! The moment we sat down, the ladies were there to walk us through the different rings they have. We tried every ring that fit our price range but nothing really "wow-ed" us. That's when the ladies offered that we have custom rings made because, with the discount, we would get it at a good price. Awesome! So, our rings will be made of white gold ring in a matte finish with yellow gold edging; my ring will have a gem because I didn't get an engagement ring (because Carlo gave me an "engagement house"). Super simple the design is very me and Carlo. :) From the discounted price, we paid for the reservation fee. Part of the service is also engraving for the rings. Just make sure the message will fit inside the ring. Also, Goldenhills gives you the option to pay for your rings in installment basis up to 6 months. That is very convenient! Lastly, the adjustment of the ring size and cleaning is free plus a Lifetime warranty! I have to say, I was very happy with the service of Goldenhills Jewelry. I really recommend this shop if you plan to buy your own " special occasion" ring or jewelries :D

I often have it done at some small watch repair stalls that I'd encounter somewhere, but I'm also a steady customer at Three S Gift Shop at Farmer's Plaza. There are a number of similar establishments in the building, but I've always felt a little more welcome there as the staff are a little more attentive and responsive to your needs. They've whole racks of straps there which won't necessarily empty your wallet, and good different kinds at that. I've always felt like the straps I've seen at the bigger, more expensive places (whichever those are) look too cumbersome for my taste. Are they genuine leather? Ask them that. Really all I care about is that it looks nice on my tiny wrists. They sell and repair various watches and clocks too, of course. While I have a preference to avoid bling with a humble leather watch, I'm quite taken with and I just might by this rose gold Casio number they have on display. There's always a booth that sells cheap, discounted watches by the hallway too, so if you're itching for some cheap timekeeper to up your wardrobe, drop by and have a look.

Silverworks is a place that's memorable to me because again, it has a lot to do with the four years…read moreI spent in high school. Jewelry is obviously out of budget for any student in high school unless they were the soon of a rich oil tycoon or someone along the lines of Warren Buffet or Bill Gates. A lot of the students often bought jewelry for their special someone here at Silverworks. None of us could afford gold at the time and many of us even had to struggle to afford something as precious as silver. Nevertheless, what really mattered when giving silver jewelry was the meaning behind it. Giving a girl a piece of jewelry, at least during my time in high school nowadays I'm not sure what a guy's supposed to give, meant a higher level of liking or that the couple is growing strong. I don't know if Silverworks still gets the same kind of patrons nowadays, but I sure do hope kids still appreciate a finely crafted piece of jewelry.

I love shopping at Claire's especially at Christmas time and I have a lot gifts for my tween and…read moreteen godchildren. They have the cutest items that are great for that age range. The truth is, I also buy a lot of things at Claire's for myself. They have a lot of hip accessories like sunglasses, jewelry, hats and bags. The best gift I found there were locked diaries for tweens with cute owl designs and a bejeweled red one. They are also among the few stores that have gloves, we're not really a glove-wearing country so that's a bit hard to find before Claire's. And they also carry the Prism line of Katy Perry. They often go on sale offering buy 1, take 1 promos for items of the same price. If you ever chance upon one of those, I suggest going big on the shopping because you will always be able to find young girls and those young-at-heart to give the items to.

Claire's is every pre-teens dream come true. When i would vacation in the US, my shopping itinerary…read morealways included Claire's for all my kikay needs. Their accessories are the best! They sell colorful hair pieces as well as cute earrings, belly rings (for the rebellious kind) and even boy band merchandise. Just so you know, i didnt buy any of the Justin Bieber stuff when he was super famous. In grade 6, all my classmates wanted to have my denim wallet which had glitters and the world Angel stitched on the front part. When i told them it was from Claire's their faces looked a bit upset because they knew they wouldnt be able to buy it right away. When i saw Claire's open their first branch in BGC i remember feeling what i used to feel when i wouls enter their US stores before. Unfortunately i was already working so i decided to be happy for the preteens instead. I still pass by once in a while and delight in the cute stuff they have.

When I'm at Gateway it's always one of the stores I sneak into for a peek. Since their accessories racks are always so close to the entrance you can just give their stuff a quick run-through and head out if you don't find anything. They've also had awesome discount and two-for-one sale extravaganzas which are always fetching. I end up getting a lot of rings that are too big for most women's hands, which fill me with great a joy. The great thing about their stuff is that it never looks or feels cheap or tacky, even with their more "junior" pieces. Many of their accessories do come off a little "mature" (mumsy or tita-y), but they have a classic-ness about them that most people would probably grow into when they do become moms or titas themselves. This will not happen to me (clearly) but at least I'll have beautiful jewelry still when I'm older.
