Before she even flew off to London, reigning Miss World Philippines Michelle Dee made sure she was armed and ready to compete in the global stage.

And for the 23-year-old beauty, that also means bringing only the best of the best in the Philippines.

Aside from revealing that she'll be wearing a Libiran custom gown in the upcoming competition, she also made sure to show off her Pinoy pride on casual days.

So if Catriona Gray is known for her sunray ear cuff, Michelle will be bringing her love for rings to the next level.

She recently asked the help of silversmiths and bike riders Dante Dizon and Noli Coronado of 13 Lucky Monkey for a custom ring made entirely from 92.5 sterling silver.

In a private message with Dante Dizon, the silversmith shared how the Kapuso host came about the idea of collaborating with them.

“Michelle is an old client of ours and she's also very patriotic,” Dizon reveals.

“She called to ask me to design a ring she can take with her [during the competition] as a lucky charm.

“She wanted something Pinoy of course so we played with the rays of the sun and after a few days, she wanted an eagle.

“As you can see, the rays of the crown and the eagle is her.”

And the name of the memorable charm? Dizon claims, “Michelle named the ring 'Agila.'”

Here's to hoping that Agila will help Michelle soar into greater heights in the upcoming season.
