The Brand

 

golden monstera was born from a love story — between two people, and between hands and material, place and purpose.

Origins

What began as a simple hobby during their travels soon evolved into a deeper pursuit. After taking jewelry-making courses, founders Daniel and Jenn developed their first handmade collection — among them, a pair of Monstera-inspired earrings that would eventually give the brand its name and identity.

Their approach was intuitive from the beginning: designing from emotion, shaping each form with purpose, and allowing materials to speak. Those early pieces expressed a quiet strength — sculptural, minimal, and grounded — a language that would come to define golden monstera’s aesthetic.

Philosophy

golden monstera embraces the philosophy of slow design — valuing the process as much as the outcome, and honoring the time, skill, and soul behind every piece.

The brand is committed to elevating brass as a noble material, crafting jewelry that feels sculptural, intentional, and timeless. It also seeks to preserve traditional Filipino techniques, working hand in hand with local artisans whose knowledge and craftsmanship bring each design to life.

Each creation is made to last — not just in quality, but in meaning. Jewelry that transcends trends and invites the wearer to connect with something deeper: with place, with purpose, and with craft.

Spaces

Siargao became the place where Daniel and Jenn could fully root their vision — a remote island in the southern Philippines that now holds the heart of the brand. There, they built Casa Monstera — a space that is both home and workshop, where each collection begins its journey. From sketches and prototypes to final pieces, this studio is where ideas are made tangible.

In 2024, they opened The Concept Store by golden monstera — the brand’s first flagship space — located in General Luna, Siargao. Created to celebrate Filipino craftsmanship and independent design, the store is more than a retail space — it’s a curated environment where artistry, storytelling, and community come together.
