Her take on jewelry that lasts, sparkles, and means something.
With the holiday season nearing, the search begins for gifts that carry more significance than just being shiny or sparkly—but pieces that feel personal, timeless, and meant to last. For Bea Alonzo, jewelry has always held that kind of meaning.
“I think it’s both an investment and a fashion statement,” she says. “It’s something that will make you feel good and inspired.”
This season, Bea is once again fronting a fine jewelry collection built around those exact values which are designed not only to celebrate the moment, but to become part of someone’s story. And she knows the feeling well.
“It’s a good investment for me. It’s not fast fashion. Diamonds and jewelry are something you can pass on to your daughter or your daughter-in-law or siblings. And I’m more traditional—I like investing in jewelry, that’s what my mom taught me.” she said during the interview.
Jewelry with intention
Featuring deep holiday gemstone tones like ruby, emerald, sapphire, and classic white diamonds, the collection spotlights festive colors. Gold settings come in rose, white, and yellow, giving each piece versatility and warmth.
And Bea’s personal pick? “I’d choose the rose gold earrings with ruby stones because of its softness and warmth, and you can wear it every day.” she told The POST.

That choice aligns with her philosophy on what makes for a great gift—something beautiful, yes, but also wearable and thoughtful. She adds, “When it comes to girls, you can never go wrong with jewelry.”
She remembers one particular gift moment that stuck with her: “Siguro, when I was 26 or 27, there was this one holiday where mom and I decided to purchase a pair of matching earrings. It was special because we were twinning.”
A season for gifting, and for keeping
While Bea loves choosing jewelry for others, she’s just as intentional when it comes to what she keeps. She encourages women, especially those buying their first fine jewelry, to think long-term.
“Make sure it’s something you can pass down.”
More than sparkle
While much has been said about Bea’s personal life, she’s clear about the source of her current peace.
“Yes, 100 percent,” she says, when asked if her sense of calm comes from someone special. “Pero hindi lang naman siya. I also have to give credit to myself. I really worked hard to be here, to be where I am right now, mentally, and I feel like he really just came at the right time, when I was ready.” she says in an interview during the launch.
This season, what she values most is presence.
“I’m very grateful for everything I have right now. And you know, life is full of ups and downs, but I just really want to be able to enjoy this calm and this part of my life before. I’m not being negative—you really just have to enjoy the moment, maybe even the hard times and the good times.”
About the collection
My Diamond’s Holiday 2025 Collection brings together colored gemstones like ruby, sapphire, emerald, and white diamond set in yellow, white, or rose gold. Designs include subtle clover-inspired shapes and clean, wearable forms that can go from everyday use to special occasions.
Each piece is designed with long-term wear in mind, whether you’re giving it as a gift or choosing it for yourself. Nothing feels overly trendy or too formal; the pieces can actually be part of someone’s life for years.
Gifting tip
If you’re buying jewelry as a gift, think about how it fits into the person’s day-to-day life. Consider Bea’s advice: “Make sure it’s something you can pass down” or think of it as something someone will own long-term. It should be timeless and goes with almost everything.”
For someone who likes softer tones, ruby in rose gold (Bea’s pick) adds color without being loud. Sapphire offers a cooler, more striking option. And if you’re unsure, white diamonds are always a safe, meaningful choice. Don’t overthink the size too. Look for something they’ll wear often, not just on big occasions. A piece that holds up over time usually ends up meaning more.
