July 2017 - Where to find the perfect tassel earrings

My go-to for beautiful earrings right now is local accessories brand Heyjow. The brand was started by jewelry designer Joana Gube in 2013 and she has been creating pieces that reflect her love for traveling. Her latest collection is an African-inspired one. I’m madly in love with the tassel earrings that graze over the shoulders and the special way she mixed unorthodox elements like plush pompoms with the bohemian aesthetic. The collection also features horn pendants mixed with wood, leather tassels and beaded pieces all paired with Heyjow’s signature 22k matte gold hardware.

Aside from earrings, Heyjow’s Savanna Collection showcases gorgeous layered pendants that evoke an exotic but modern look. The result is a luxe tribal feel that’s chic and super wearable. You get good style mileage, too, because their pieces are not just picture-perfect for travel, but also chic enough to wear in the city daily. You can shop for the Savanna Collection exclusively on Heyjow’s online store. - Rissa Mananquil-Trillo, The Philippine Star | READ MORE

October 2016 - Pretty but meaningful Christmas gift ideas

"Heyjow offers beautiful accessories like necklaces, bangles, and earrings. The necklaces are a wonderful way of telling your own story. Choose a necklace that has meaning to you or your friend, and layering them together allows the wearer to tell a pretty story. Every piece will always look and feel different, depending on what you layer it with. I love Heyjow pieces because they make great gifts for any occasion, but most of all during Christmas. This is a gift you’re certain the receiver will never grow tired of or allow to end up in a garage sale!" - Rissa Mananquil-Trillo, Style S.O.S, Philippine Star | READ MORE

Two brands that I am a total fangirl for have decided to collaborate once again for the holidays and I couldn’t be happier!

November 2015 - Follow Your Heart With Heyjow

One of the “blissful collaborations” that came about through this community is this one with Hey Jow, a company founded by  Joana Ballesteros Gube. She has been designing handmade jewelry for over a decade, beginning with her entrepreneurial ventures in her school days, selling school fairs and to schoolmates. She established Heyjow in 2013 , creating pieces that reflect her love for traveling. Her bold yet feminine pieces combine classic charm with boho sensibilities, and are characterized by their use of meaningful and colorful gemstones, crystals and symbolic charms. Heyjow pieces feature gold plated pendants and 24K matte gold chains and embellishments that lend each piece understated elegance.

For the holidays, Hey Jow has teamed up with MAKE IT BLISSFUL FOR THE FOLLOW YOUR HEART COLLECTION! It’s so beautiful, and so meaningful to me, because it features necklace sets and charm pendants as a “mommy and me” capsule collection. - Martine de Luna, Make It Blissful | READ MORE

If you adore eclectic, bohemian accessories the way we do, you’ll find yourself oohing and aahing at the eye candy collection. “I’m partial to matte gold, so all the brass metal is dipped in matte gold sourced from Turkey,” Joana tells us. “The raw stones are from Malaysia and Thailand, and the hand-strewn silk and Afghan bead tassels are from Turkey,” she adds. We particularly love all the charming trinkets (elephants! Evil eye! Four-leaf clovers!) collected throughout Joana’s travels, which are either worn as pendants on the necklaces or strung on brightly colored bead bracelets. - Pierra Calasanz-Labrador, Manila Bulletin | READ MORE
