Hiraya Scarf Necklace Tops This Year's Gift List

The big holiday rush has started! It's time to scout and hunt for that perfect Christmas present. However, I simply don't have the time and energy to visit malls and bazaars. Luckily enough, Palamuti has an array of wonderful gifts that I can choose from. Topping my list is this season's bestseller, the Hiraya scarf necklaces, which are embellished with a variety of stones, pearls, shells, and beads.

This is a wonderful addition to anyone's collection, as most people are fond of using plain scarves for the most part. I love the idea that it's a necklace and scarf in one, which gives a much-needed boost to a plain-looking wardrobe style. The fabric is very lightweight and soft to on skin, and it doesn't encumber me, unlike other wool or cotton scarves that my Grammy used to give me.



Hiraya comes in different colors and lengths, and you can even create your own design, since Palamuti accommodates requests for customization. It boasts the best quality, as the materials used came from excellent sources and manufacturers. It became a very popular gift item, even gaining some attention from the local press.

Hiraya can be worn over formal dresses and it is perfect to wear for work. If you're looking for a gift to give your boss, clients, or office colleagues; this item is a perfect choice. See how they manage to work this versatile piece with their office attires:

Yule Like!

For us Filipinos, the pre-celebration traditions for the Yuletide season can come as early as the first "ber" month- we welcome September with excitement. Some of us would like to avoid the whole Christmas rush, which leaves us dizzy amongst all that mall madness. We start making our lists and checking them twice- early! Aren't we so lucky to be living in the age of the internet, where online shopping serves to be the solution to a lot of our gift-giving dilemmas? Searching for that perfect gift for your loved one can be a real challenge, most especially for the female-kind.

"What will mom appreciate?" "Which presents are considered romantic?- because I want to make my wife or girlfriend feel special." "I have no idea on what to give my daughter! What are the current fashion trends? What do young girls find hip and stylish?" - these are just a few of the prevailing questions that never fail to pop into our minds come Christmas time.

Multipurpose Accessories – More Value For Your Money

A girl’s gotta love fashion accessories! Current fashion trends are everywhere and they kept on multiplying from time to time. I haven’t got much time and, to be honest, enough cash to purchase each and every lavish designs. No wonder, multipurpose accessories appealed so much to me and I can’t keep from turning away if I find one.

Multi-function custom-made jewelries have streamlined a woman’s closet for centuries already. From detachable multi-chained necklaces to interchangeable brooch pieces — any female can be imaginative and may conceive different looks with various possible uses of these versatile pieces. I know it’ll take a bit of creativity and guts but trust me, once you get the hang of it, you’ll be marvelous! Not to mention that they are great investments for they can truly come a long way.

If you didn’t know, multipurpose accessories have dated back from the Victorian age or earlier. During this time, these articles of clothing have been very practical and useful for women. Marion Cohen’s book, Costume Jewelry Variations: A Collector's Identification and Price Guide (2003) mentioned that women who were economically affected by the Great Depression could not afford glamorous designer dresses and diamond jewelry, but they could afford custom jewelry to brighten up their wardrobes. These jewelries were priced for everyone’s budget and the industry went even further to give the customer more for her money and increased its sales.

Soon, many ornaments have been created with unique craftsmanship and genuine purposes. Clips, brooches, and pendants were used to accentuate dresses, gloves, belts, and even hats! Pins that can be changed to earrings, necklaces that can be divided to bracelets, interchangeable ring designs —these pieces have been popular for they are very convertible, ideal for traveling, and saves big space to a closet.

Filipina artist PJ Valenciano created various versions of multipurpose accessories available in the local market and surely, you will find one that will suit our taste and serve us in many ways. And come to think of it, Christmas time is just a few months away and these pieces are good gift ideas — either personal or corporate giveaways. Well, you’ve been lucky! Palamuti by PJ Valenciano is giving 20% discount on all bulk purchases made on or before October 31, 2011. You may pick from any of our collection: from our simplest to the most elaborate designs and the packaging is on us!
