A play of light and colors

Jul B. Dizon introduces designer Ginny Dizon’s  Voyage collection—light, versatile and travel-friendly pieces made of 18K gold and embellished with colorful gemstones, including citrine, amethyst, topaz, garnet, and even emerald and sapphire.

Voyage-Lightened 7“Traveling light” takes on a new world of meaning with Jul B. Dizon’s latest collection, which plays with color and light radiating from fine quality gemstones. Designed by Ginny Dizon, one of the talented siblings that make up the creative force behind the renowned Jul B. Dizon brand, Voyage showcases handcrafted, standout pieces all fashioned in 18k gold and embellished with a trove of colorful gems.

The Voyage collection is an easy introduction to wearing colored gemstones. Each piece of Voyage features fine gemstones in studs and jackets, including pieces of citrine, amethyst, topaz, beryl, aquamarine, morganite, heliodor, green and pink tourmaline, as well as garnet in orange, pink and maroon. Emerald and sapphire are offered on special orders. The exceptional cutting of the round colored gems allow them to sparkle brightly that they can be worn alone or combined with different pieces.Voyage-Lightened 5

Travel-friendly pieces

Most women already own or plan to own a pair of diamond studs. This collection builds on those studs,” shares Ginny Dizon about her latest collection. “Adding to a pair of studs in layers allows them to have several looks with just a few key pieces.”

The collection was especially made with travel in mind, building on the concept of layering, using versatile, flexible pieces that can be playful, practical, and easy to mix and match while on a trip. Ginny adds, “It’s very much similar to layering clothes in travel, you bring selected pieces that can work well with different occasions, day and night. With select pieces, you can stretch them to create as many styles as possible.”Voyage-Lightened 2

Ginny also shares that based on her own personal experiences while traveling, which many women can relate to, she knew that practicality was also key to creating a travel-friendly collection. “Many times in my own travels I wished I brought an extra pair of earrings, but I get worried about storing them or carrying them around. But the pieces in the Voyage collection are compact and easy to pack away in a small box or a pouch inside your wallet.” This is a good precaution, she continues, given that most Airbnb rentals do not come equipped with safes to store travelers’ valuables.
