This local bespoke jeweler launches heirloom pieces that fuse art and religion
Gold is one of the go-to materials in jewelry if you want it to stay with you for a very long time. But for it to become an heirloom piece, the design should stand out, not just now but in future generations—and that's exactly what sets Kathy and Kathy Bespoke apart from others.
Kathy Gregorio-Añover and Kathy Sarabia-Babst, the driving force behind Kathy and Kathy Bespoke, are two Iloilo-born entrepreneurs who share their love for classic and timeless fine jewelry pieces. They established Kathy and Kathy bespoke in 2014.
Just recently, Kathy and Kathy Bespoke launched its "Ora Pro Nobis" collection, which means "Pray for us" in Latin.
"It's a collection we've been working on for months," Kathy and Kathy Bespoke's Kathy Gregorio-Añover told GMA News Online.
"It's a very tedious process of commissioning and partnering with Italian goldsmiths from Italy to create and carve pieces of religious importance," she added.
The local brand's "Ora Pro Nobis" collection features today's most priced materials in Italy, such as Sardonyx Shell Cameos.
"The [carved pieces] are shipped here in the Philippines [from Italy] and then we create original gold frame designs around it and set in gold by our local goldsmiths," Añover said.
Kathy and Kathy Bespoke positions itself as a brand that offers pieces you can pass on from generation to generation, so best believe that each jewelry from this brand surpasses the test of time, not just with durability but with the timelessness of the designs.
