Bejewelled DREAMS

Dreams, goals, aspirations-everyone has at least one. We've all got something we long for in our lives, whether we admit it or not. From material possessions to the cravings of the soul, having a dream is something innate to us humans. We've all seen or heard stories of success or heroic redemption arcs, and all of them have one thing in common-it all started from one simple dream. From there, it was only a matter of making the dream come to life.

They say dreaming is easy; all we need to do is close our eyes. But For Kristine Joy Agcopra, CEO of local jewelry brand THEÍA GEMS, her very dream now fondly greets her at every waking moment as she willed it into reality through sheer dedication and tenacity.

GEM A MULTI-FACETED

As a kid, we were always asked what we wanted to be growing up. Some people stay true to that dream and pursue it when they get older. Others, however, grow out of their original plans and decide to go on a different path. Even during adulthood, changes in your goals and dreams are inevitable. This is the reality Kristine found herself in, with a looming feeling of dissatisfaction every step of the way.
