Paul Syjuco’s Play invites you to a lively expression of colors, shapes, and gemstones
The year began with global readjustments and the reconstruction of futures, and one jeweler dares to breathe life into the realm of accessories with a collection that’s a testament to the joy of existence. Paul Syjuco, the creative behind this innovative offering, aptly named it Play. This collection is a lively expression of vibrant colors, maximalist shapes, and the dance of gemstones.

The fine jeweler takes play seriously, and his latest collection is a whimsical journey through a kaleidoscope of hues. From opulent opals to lustrous moonstones, pink tourmalines, and beyond, these gemstones take center stage, each telling a story of color and movement. Opals, in particular, dazzle with their intrinsic optical show, known as the “play of color.” Syjuco elucidates, “Opals may seem neutral at first, but they come alive with a riot of colors when light interacts with them, mirroring the vivacity of life itself.”
But it’s not just about the stones; it’s also about the playful designs they inspire. Nature’s beauty serves as an endless muse, with opals coexisting harmoniously with other gems like Zambian and Colombian emeralds, pink tourmalines, and turquoise. Syjuco weaves these precious gems into stunning creations, from the return of a spider brooch adorned with white opal and pavé diamonds to extravagant gold dome earrings paired with Zambian emerald pompoms.
What sets this collection apart is its casual elegance. Syjuco’s intention is clear: these pieces are meant to be worn every day, effortlessly infusing joy and color into your life. A pair of statement earrings can transform a simple outfit, and irregularly formed baroque keshi pearls offer a refreshing departure from the ordinary. His love for uniqueness shines through, as every baroque pearl is a singular work of art.
Pearls take a new form in this collection, breaking free from their traditional settings. Coral, pearl, and cameo necklaces evoke a sense of artistic assemblage, while South Sea keshi pearl flower earrings strike a perfect balance between sophistication and fun.
This playful spirit is contagious. From moonstone cabochon earrings radiating with adularescence to textured gold chain fringe pairs, each piece in the Play collection invites you to revel in the joy of life and express your appreciation through exquisite adornments. As Syjuco aptly puts it, “This collection is a call to come out and play. To celebrate life.” So why wait? Embrace the colors, the movement, and the sheer delight of existence with Paul Syjuco’s latest jewelry collection.
