Aside from Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray herself, another scene stealer during the pageant coronation night on December 17, 2018 was her custom Tessera Jewelry ear cuff, aptly called Alab at Dangal.
Lucky for us, the iconic piece "made of gold, studded with diamonds and rubies with golden South Sea pearls" is now available for reservations, according to an Instagram post by the celeb-favorite brand.
The Miss Universe 2018 coronation night wasn't the first time Catriona was seen wearing a piece from Tessera Jewelry. The same brand was behind the "Three Stars and the Sun" ear cuff Cat wore when she was crowned Miss Universe Philippines at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in March 2018.
And here she is wearing the stunning "The Pearl of the Orient" earrings during the Miss Universe prelims:
Each meticulously made piece was co-designed by none other than Catriona herself.
Of course, while we all deserve jewelry fit for a queen, not everyone has the budget to splurge on an expensive designer piece. If you're looking to channel your inner Catriona, here are some affordable and proudly local brands to check out so you won't have to break the bank.
