Karat World’s latest campaign lifts the mothers of special children.
From the jewelry counters of One Ayala to community corners in Cavite, Bulacan, and Nueva Ecija, a quiet yet powerful campaign unfolded last May.
It didn’t focus on fanfare or sparkle alone, but on the unspoken strength of a mother’s love. This was #AusomeMomsKW, a Karat World initiative that shone a light on a group of women whose motherhood journeys often go unseen. These are the mothers of children with special needs—women who show up every day with unmatched patience, fierce devotion, and resilience shaped by the unique paths they walk with their children.
#AusomeMomsKW was not your usual social media campaign. It served as a heartfelt homage to stories from across the country, where mothers candidly shared their truths—not the filtered, picture-perfect frames, but real, hard-won truths that reflect what it means to raise a child who sees the world differently.

Special stories
Take Aiyva, for instance. “Motherhood,” she said, “means accepting everything about my child—not the one I thought I would have.” There is grace in that kind of surrender. And there is strength, too.
For Janina, becoming a mom at a young age meant growing up fast. “She taught me to be responsible,” she said of her daughter. Her early motherhood isn’t a burden, but a purpose.
April, another #AusomeMomKW, shared how she learned a whole new language—one without words. “You don’t have to hear your child say ‘I love you’ to know that they do,” she said.
And then there is Clarissa, mom to Evo. “I became more patient,” she shared. “And learned to appreciate the small things—and then you realize how lucky you are.”
These are the life lessons here—from the long nights, therapy sessions, tears, and tiny victories that often go unnoticed but mean the world to mothers like them.
Gifting strength with sparkle
As a way to honor these women, Karat World gifted select mothers with fine diamond jewelry as a quiet, lasting reminder of their hard-won victories.
“A diamond is formed under pressure,” said Felix “Trix” Gorriceta III, president of Karat World. “That’s what these moms are, and we wanted to honor that.” It’s the brand’s way of saying these moms are seen, celebrated, and valued because for Karat World, jewelry has always been about meaning, not just material.
