Raised into the family tradition of jewelry trading, Jesusa “Suzette” Malig Ayson’s fascination for precious stones and fine jewelry unfolded in her early years, the beginning of a lifelong passion. In 1997, Suzette founded JMA Jewelry, continuing family traditions while realizing her own desire to design pieces that stir a special moment at every sight and touch. For over 20 years, Jesusa has worked closely with her team of jewelry artisans and serviced a growing network of clientele - all of whom she has often described as “family”. In line with her pursuit of international quality and creativity, her success is founded on those lasting relationships created in and beyond the store, relationships invaluable in an industry so reliant on trust. The company is able to establish this trust with their clientele by constantly sharing with them the knowledge about the beauty and intricacy of jewelry. With an understanding that jewelry is meant to be a personal and meaningful purchase, JMA Jewelry continues to provide hands-on service to their customers. With Suzette’s guidance and vision, JMA Jewelry has crafted lasting pieces meant to delight the wearer. Some of the jewelry house’s notable works include the Banig series, a selection of wide bracelets and bangles with an impressive weaving of colored stones and diamonds, and the baroque South Sea pearl series, a creative manipulation of the irregularity of the pearls. Today, JMA Jewelry has become a staple name in the Philippine jewelry industry, having crafted exquisitely-designed concepts that have adorned countless engagements, weddings, special occasions and the everyday. A tradition once shared to her as a daughter, Jesusa now shares to her own daughters, whom now work closely to build on the JMA Jewelry legacy.
