I have always been artsy and crafty since I was a child.  When I was in college, we rented an apartment in Chinatown. This is near Quiapo and Divisoria which is within reach of supplies businesses, Chinese importers, and wholesale shops. I do not remember how it all started. But I do remember I had a few R&D on these gem bracelet watches.  I improved the wire material, adjusted the denseness of the gems, and changed the clasps as I developed the product itself.   I was creating and selling these from college until I was already working full-time.  The watches were consigned to a couple of stores and at a high-end lifestyle store called Firma. It was even featured in a magazine :D  I only stopped production when I moved to Singapore as I thought the cost, time, and effort to make was not big enough.  And I would rather spend my rest days, resting.  To my friends and family who supported this small business of mine, thank you.  I have made and sold over 100 of these watches.  Recently, a friend of mine took a photo of her watch and sent it to me.  The watch is still beautiful and just needs a battery change after 20 years.  My heart is full.
