Jewelry designer PJ Valenciano's penchant for all things romantic certainly emanates in her accessory creations. For her most recent collection, the jewelry artisan derives inspiration from 'Maruja,' a story of transcendent love created by Filipino komik novelist Mars Ravelo.
Fanciful star-crossed lovers Maruja and Gabriel are a testament to love's sublime nature. Maruja's indefinite love for Gabriel leads to her demise, as she immediately decides to take her life after her forced marriage to Rodrigo, captain of the Spanish civil guards; bidding Gabriel goodbye with the promise that love will reunite them someday. Their love story is consequently reawakened with the reincarnation of Maruja's spirit; a bittersweet culmination: for although true love is realized, it is with an aged and dying Gabriel.
A nostalgic romance novel is paid tribute to.
Dreams of vintage whimsy are expressed
through the use of antique Brass material and muted tones.
