Just got off the phone with Happy David. She’s at her workshop in Cebu right now setting it up. This atelier of sorts is the reason why her designs have taken a turn towards edgier fashion. Really looking forward to what she’ll be coming up with next.
On that note, I asked her to design a bib necklace for me, since I’m loving all the statement jewelry I’ve been seeing at Lanvin, Burberry, and Marc Jacobs.
These are some of the prototypes she sent me.

Faceted resin pieces are hand-painted for varying effects.

Resin rings with Swarovski crystals.

Chain necklace with medallions.
It’s really quite exciting that she has more freedom to play in her new work space. Loving her new designs and loving that it’s all local!
Isha.
P.S.
