Essence by Kristine Dee: Jewelry That Speaks to You

Some jewelry catches light, but great jewelry captures essence. Kristine Dee’s latest collection, 'Essence', falls firmly into the latter category. In a world where we often adorn ourselves to project an image, Kristine Dee’s pieces offer a refreshing shift—they’re designed to connect with something far deeper than surface-level beauty. This collection doesn’t just reflect your style; it mirrors who you are at your core.

Her background in design and her keen eye for craftsmanship has allowed her to create bespoke jewelry that tells personal stories. Kristine Dee's work reflects a passion for both form and function, bringing together beauty and intention in every piece. With Essence', Kristine Dee continues her tradition of creating jewelry that is not only visually striking but also deeply meaningful.

And with the holidays fast approaching, there’s no better time to gift—or wear—jewelry that’s truly personal. In collaboration with Christine Dychiao, the first certified KonMari consultant in the Philippines, Kristine Dee has created a collection where every gemstone is chosen with intention. From the soothing powers of aquamarine to the grounding balance of bi-color tourmaline, the stones in Essence aren’t just decorative. They’re purposeful, each carefully selected for the way it aligns with and enhances the wearer’s energy. More than just a piece of jewelry, it’s a thoughtful gift that carries lasting significance, well beyond the holiday season.

Here are a few standout picks from the Essence collection:

Beyond the beauty of the stones and designs, what truly sets Essence apart is the ability to customize. Whether it’s the opulent Maddie Earrings, blending aquamarine and morganite, or the sophisticated Adele Bangle with bi-color tourmaline and diamonds, these pieces allow you to express your individuality. And with options to personalize further, they make the ultimate bespoke gift. Imagine creating a necklace or ring that perfectly aligns with the personality of the one you love—nothing says 'thoughtful' like jewelry that’s been made just for them.

Now, Kristine Dee doesn’t stop at new designs—she also offers the opportunity to breathe new life into old jewelry. Instead of letting forgotten heirlooms gather dust, you can have them reworked into something modern and wearable. A perfect holiday gift for someone who cherishes their memories but wants to wear something they’ll actually use. It’s a sustainable and sentimental way to show you care.
