At Milano Jewelry Week 2026, This Filipino Brand Shows How Jewelry Can Transform With You

Russet leaves fall to the ground outside the grand halls of Palazzo Bovara in Milan—setting the scene in time for the 6th Milano Jewelry Week. Amid the season’s muted hues, something unexpected blooms. At the Artistar Jewels exhibition, Filipino jewelry brand GoldandStones by Gayle takes its place once more among other jewelry brands from around the world.

Following the brand’s 2023 debut, it returns with fresh collections that reflect founder and designer Gayle Guansing’s evolving creative vision. Missed the event? Here’s everything you need to know.

In Full Bloom

Much like how seasons change, people are constantly evolving. Guansing took this into consideration in designing her pieces—creating distinct, highly versatile designs that transform with the wearer.

The first of the collections presented at the exhibit was BOUQUET: Petals and Blooms. Inspired by nature, its floral motif stands out even further with its vivid use of colored gemstones like yellow diamonds and Paraíba tourmalines—a trend that remains popular this season. The BOUQUET ring, a standout in the collection, can be transformed into a brooch.

Down Memory Lane

Apart from nature-inspired pieces, Guansing also introduced the Memory Lane Flippable Bracelet, which was created around the idea of keeping memories close. What makes it so special is how each section can be flipped to reveal a different finish—allowing you to move between diamond bezels and pavé settings.

“The Memory Lane Flippable Bracelet is very special because it carries memories that the wearer would like to see in jewelry, so it’s a reminder,” Guansing adds, highlighting how the bracelet also accommodates charms, including one inspired by her own dog.

Through this heartfelt addition, wearers can turn personal stories and fragments of everyday life into something more tangible, which for Guansing, is what jewelry-making is all about.

As GoldandStones continues to expand its reach and flourish on international stages, this vision remains unchanged. It continues to create designs that tell stories and transform with you.
