Cebu's growing economy and reputation as a jewelry hub led to our decision to open there. When the store opened 15 years ago, it was met with much excitement and fanfare, and it quickly gained a loyal following of customers.
Since then, it has expanded to different parts of the country and offers a wide range of jewelry items, including rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and pendants. Focusing on craftsmanship, attention to detail, and using high-quality materials distinguishes the brand's products from its competitors.
Diagold at 15
Diagold is marking its 15th AnniversaryAnniversary in the industry with a series of events this year, including the April grand opening of a new branch at Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino.
