MANILA, Philippines - The Aziza Collection is a mix of fantasy, color, light and a vivid imagination. Young jewelry designer Aziza Mondoñedo creates a collection of unique rings, necklaces and earrings that reflect the vivacity of life.
Each unique piece is a realization of a dream, built with a rainbow of colors made up of aquamarine, kunzite, tanzanite, topaz, citrine, moonstones, amethyst, sapphires, quartz, cabochon all in various colors. The play of light on textures such as turquoise, agate, sandstone and onyx create different dimensions to the stones and a different sparkle each time the light changes.
Inspiration transcends time, history. Pieces are reminiscent of ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman jewelry that showcase the stone’s bold shapes.
Others bear the angular art deco-inspired settings of the 1920s, while others are jaw-dropping, rapper-worthy bling.
The colors, shimmer and shine of everything from a stack of Parisian macaroons to the colors of sunrise on the water lend their hues to the combination of stones.
The Aziza Collection is available at Firma Greenbelt 3, L Manila Greenbelt 5 and House of Laurel.
