The Enduring Power of Pearls

Jewelmer celebrates International Women’s Month with Miss Universe Philippines 2024
Chelsea Manalo.

Making history as the first Filipina of African-American descent to represent the country
Jewelmer honors Chelsea’s remarkable journey to the Miss Universe stage.

Akin to the 377 individual steps required to produce a single pearl, the passion and hard
work she has demonstrated throughout her road to Miss Universe makes her a role model for future generations to come.

From taking home the coveted title to her life after the crown, she evokes the essence of a true queen, mastering her confidence and effortlessly commanding every room in
Jewelmer’s South Sea pearl creations.

Chelsea reflected on a profound time during her Miss Universe journey: “I felt mo
powerful when it was the press presentation for Miss Universe Philippines. I came into that competition strong, I knew what I’m capable of and that no matter what challenges will come my way, I’m already as powerful as I can be.”

When asked if she had any pearls of wisdom to impart, she shared, “Whatever it is that you aspire to be, then dream big. Don’t be afraid to take risks, do everything with kindness, and be humble.”

Breaking barriers and inspiring every Filipina to reach for the stars, Chelsea’s allure
continues to radiate throughout the universe.
