Hidden Virtues


Not far from where I live is a small workshop where I found almost by accident a thriving and very industrious business producing hand made jewelry. Passing by the area you would have no idea that in the yard behind unimposing metal gates was a small company employing only some six or seven personnel, all busily engaged in creating works of art designed by the owner herself.

I was surprised by the extremely professional manner in which Mayan was building up a very impressive portfolio of new work on a regular basis. She designs new items almost every week. She has been in business for only three years and already her experience has produced a wide variety of beautiful jewelry including bracelets, hair pieces, earrings and many others, jewelry that you can wear for formal as well as casual wear, at home or even barefoot sandal jewelry to wear on the beach where you can display feet adorned with attractively made and practical fashions.

Here are just a few of the many designs that she makes with her personally selected staff who create replicas each and every time. As well as selling her collections locally within the Philippines, Mayan has already started selling to small scale buyers in the USA and Canada.
