MANILA, Philippines — Heart Evangelista is taking her love for fashion and art in a new direction as she explores jewelry design, turning her personal accessories into pieces that reflect her creativity and distinct aesthetic.
Known for her appearances at major fashion events in Paris and Milan, Heart has built a reputation for her style and appreciation for luxury fashion. But beyond wearing designer clothes and statement pieces, she is now putting her own artistic touch into the jewelry she wears.
What started as a personal project has gradually attracted the attention of her followers.
Heart initially created jewelry for herself, finding a way to breathe new life into accessories she no longer used. Instead of allowing old pieces to sit forgotten, she began reimagining them and turning them into new statement pieces.
Her approach has since evolved into a more deliberate creative process. Heart now takes time to select the gemstones for her earrings, necklaces and bracelets, carefully considering how different stones complement one another.
“A lot of LOVE and passion in what I do?,” she wrote in a recent social media post while showcasing some of her creations.
Her followers have embraced this side of her creativity, with many praising her ability to move between different artistic mediums.
Whether through her paintings, jewelry or fashion, Heart has consistently used personal style as a form of self-expression.
Her interest in gemstones is particularly evident in the way she combines different stones to create distinctive pieces.
“I love mixing stones that complement rather than compete. Opals let turquoise shine in the most beautiful way,” Heart shared in another social media post.
Turquoise, in particular, has become one of the gemstones closely associated with Heart's style. Its blue to bluish-green hue adds a distinctive character to her jewelry and works well with the variety of stones she likes to combine.
Beyond its visual appeal, turquoise has a long history as a prized gemstone. It has been used in jewelry and decorative objects for centuries, with different cultures associating it with qualities such as protection and healing.
Heart has previously shared her interest in gemstones that symbolize “healing and protection,” adding another personal layer to her fascination with jewelry.
For Heart, jewelry is no longer simply an accessory. It has become another canvas for her creativity — an opportunity to experiment with color, texture and gemstones while creating pieces that reflect her personality.
