Another day, another diamond! A literally “shining, shimmering, and splendid” evening was brought to us by Maddox Jewelry during their very first fashion show held on December 4, 2025 at Teodore Events Place, Marikina City, showcasing dazzling pieces that are part of a huge collection.
“This is our first grand fashion show of Maddox Jewelry, by next year probably baka icontinue namin ito, so every year we’ll be having a fashion show to showcase all our new designs for this year. Itong fashion show natin na ito catered all the designs nilabas namin for 2025 at the same time our next project designs for the year 2026.” said Charo Cordial, owner of Maddox Jewelry.
The event was attended by the press, celebrities, and VIPs, transforming the runway into a star-studded catwalk, where stars sparkled even more with Maddox’s stunning pieces. Among them were Diana Zubiri, EA Guzman, Bugoy Carino, Boom Labrusca, Desiree del Valle, Daiana Menezes, Ara Mina, Jomari and Abby Yllana, Polo Raveles, Aubrey Miles, Troy Montero, Katya Santos, Jao Mapa, Yayo Aguila, Maui Taylor, and the star of the show, Annabelle Rama.
In a brief interview, Charo shared how she handpicked the celebrities who were part of the show. “I don’t want to get celebrities na hindi naman talaga nakapagtangkilik nung diamonds namin,“ she said. Charo also added, “Hindi po talaga ako kumukuha ng hindi pa talaga nakaka-experience.”
Charo shared how her friendship began with Annabelle through a common friend. “Yung friend po kasi niya, siya yung customer namin so sinama lang si Tita Annabelle and dun nag-start,” she detailed.
For her part, Annabelle expressed how she adored Charo and said, “Dapat gayahin nila si Charo kasi biruin mo naman 2 years palang siya meron na siyang building ang yaman yaman na niya.”
Charo shared what she learned from Annabelle, “’Yung mga jewelry natin, we have also mga highend laging mga gusto ni Tita Annabelle talagang malalaki, buo-buo.”
More than showcasing their collection, the event also serves another purpose. “Thanksgiving na rin sa mga celebrity na nagtitiwala po sa amin.” Charo said.
Charo assured every customer that no matter how hard it is to find the diamonds you want, she and her brand will give their best to be of service. “With Maddox, we can source everything, all kinds of gemstones na kailangan niyo, we can get it,” she confidently said. That is a bold promise we look forward to witnessing being kept.
