Consul General Antonio Morales leads the ribbon-cutting at Helena Alegre exhibit .

The Philippine Consulate hosted a one-night exhibit, “Jewel of the Night,” featuring the exquisite creations of Philippines-based jewelry designer Helena Alegre on Oct. 23.

Alegre, who is famous for her traditional filigree designs in silver, also held a free workshop on jewelry making, including beading, wire looping and wrapping two days earlier, also at the Consulate.

She donated one of her creations to the charity auction of the International Care Ministries, held on Oct. 24, to partly fund its mission to help ultra poor communities in the Visayas and Mission. PCG photo
