Diamonds - and rose gold - are Bea Alonzo’s best friends for the holidays. And beyond.

She’s one of the country’s top taxpayers, and with her films reportedly grossing P3.15 billion, Bea is among the biggest local box-office stars of all time. So, even if she flaunts her sparkling collection of bejeweled accessories, no one will fault her for it.

The Kapuso actress, last seen on TV in the murder-mystery series Widows’ War, is the ambassadress for MyDiamond, as she effortlessly embodies the luxury jewelry brand’s festive vibrance and timeless elegance.

At the brand’s recent unveiling at the Mall of Asia of its holiday collection of gemstones, Bea showcased “the fiery allure of ruby to the deep charm of sapphire, or the lush richness of emerald, which are beautifully complemented by the classic sparkle of white diamonds.”

Those fascinated with fine jewelry may also choose from three luxurious gold settings: warm rose gold, sleek white gold, and timeless yellow gold.

As Bea, 37, celebrates her birthday month and the holiday season that’s already upon us, she shares her thoughts and wishes on the joys of owning jewelry as well as the magic of giving gifts.

On defining the holiday spirit:
“I think the holidays is always about just being with family. You know, it's the vibe, it's the music, the Christmas tree, the smell of puto bumbong, and just being in one room together with family. I think it's that togetherness that feels like the holidays for me. It's the togetherness with the people that you love most, the people that you treasure the most.“

On MyDiamond’s Holiday Collection:
“Well, I love diamonds, but I also have been into rose gold because I feel like it has this warmth, this softness to it. And when it's paired with colored stones, I feel like it elevates the look. It feels more sophisticated and modern at the same time.
“We've seen that their newest collection has the rubies, the sapphires, emeralds. These are fun colors. I believe that these stones, they carry energy. Like, for example, when I wear ruby, instantly, I feel more bold, like I'm ready for a party or like it's more, it's almost seductive, actually.
“When I wear sapphires, they are very calming. So, they calm me down, especially with my busy schedule. Whereas, with emeralds, it's very grounding. It's almost like the quiet kind of confidence, as they say.”

On choosing what piece to give:
“I love statement pieces, but I think for this one, I'd go with the Everyday Sparkle. Just because I like the idea of someone being able to wear something that I gave him or her every day and think about me. I think that's very special. It's always a must, so that they remember you. Because we're all about creating memories.”

On rubies giving a confidence boost:
“I feel like there's something about jewelry that makes a look put together. I don't know if it's psychological, but whenever I put on something sparkly, I feel confident right away. And maybe it's a reminder to just, you know, let your hair down and just be in the moment and, you know, shine even brighter, as they say, in MyDiamond.”

On a piece that signifies a new chapter:
“Definitely a diamond. A tennis diamond bracelet, because I love diamonds as well as I love rose gold. And it's something classic that I could wear every day. It's something that I could pass down one day. And I think it would represent love and creating something lasting. Because diamonds are actually forever.”
