I had been feeling a bit under the weather lately, but I had to attend and show my support for the event/ exhibit mounted by Ricky and Chito, the dynamic duo behind AC+632, for designer/ artist Wynn Wynn Ong.
I’ve had the pleasure of having dinner with Ricky, Chito, Gemma, Wynn Wynn Ong, and ace photographer (and my mentor haha) Patrick Uy and wife Evelyn some years eons ago and it was one of those nights that I never forgot. Ricky and Chito are perhaps the best visual merchandisers/curators in town, and each time I pay their shop a visit, I walk out with something!
So when I was reminded about the Wynn Wynn Ong event, I couldn’t not go. I have very high regard for this jewellery designer because what she creates is original and is really something she can call her own. She is a true artist and has evolved to become a home accessories designer as well.
Wynn Wynn’s jewellery
She had designed bags with exotic leather before and now she created this “seafan coral” minaudiere made with composite recyclable materials! Wynn Wynn has gone “green” and decorated the minaudiere with exquisite clasps like this!

| WOW. I love this piece though I did wish the “feet” were more “solid” |
It’s all in the details! Look at how precious this is!

Geckos as drawer handles!

| I really like this piece!!! |
Trays made of ebony with the same geckos set with stones
A jewellery box. With a pearl studded caterpillar and a shell on the other end
A beetle with smoky quartz on the handles of one of the decorative trays
One of my favorites, a peacock with labradorites on a jewellery box
And a photo recap of those who were at the event:

I’m so pleased to see Wynn Wynn Ong’s collection. You peeps should be popping over AC +632 (Greenbelt 5) in the next few days to see some of her jewellery (and the gorgeous minaudieres) up close. And yes, ask to try them on too! 🙂
