The adage “wear your heart on your sleeve” seems to be the driving concept behind Jul B. Dizon Jewellery’s newest collection Simbolo. Beautifully crafted with diamonds, sapphires, rubies, and peridots in solid 18K gold, each piece pays respect to Filipino heritage and the many treasures of our proud nation.
The contemporary collection of rings, pins, clips, pendants, cufflinks, and bracelets are more than just items for adornment. They represent Filipino identity and our vibrant culture, in the same way that they celebrate the late Dizon matriarch’s core values of patriotism and family.
Designed for everyday use, the Perdible line of extra-large decorative safety pins borrows elements from the Philippine flag: a sun and three stars, brightly accentuated with white or yellow diamonds. You can wear the Perdible by itself or personalize it with pendants, beads, monograms, or other danglers. While there are a total of seven lines within the Simbolo collection, all of the carefully crafted pieces are mood-changers, meant to bolster fervent love for the country and keep the patriotic heart beating.
