4| All That Glitters
All That Glitters likes to use black obsidian, malachite, moonstone, and lapis lazuli for their cufflinks and lapel pins.
Their cufflinks and men’s line began when a young man couldn’t find cufflinks to match his desire for colored gems with his tailoring preferences. His request led All That Glitters to "discover a growing community of clients looking for unique pieces that weren’t readily available here in the Philippines," Amanda Luym, who founded the brand with her cousin Cacay Moras, tells Esquire Philippines. "Now we always keep unique cufflinks and shirt studs in stock, and regularly get requests for other bespoke designs as well."
Their signature pieces for men are their Art Deco–inspired cufflinks and lapel pins. "Each one is one-of-a-kind and handcrafted in sterling silver or gold. They feature mechanisms inspired by designs from the late 19th to early 20th centuries and with hand finishes," says Luym.
