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.

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.

Essence goes beyond beauty—it's about wearing jewelry that truly resonates with you. In a holiday season where true connection and meaning take the spotlight, Kristine Dee’s collection shows us that real luxury is found in pieces that go beyond surface-level shine. It’s about finding something that speaks to you, something that feels as much a part of you as your own story.
