After my Chinatown Museum visit and Binondo food trip with my friend Mitzie, I went to Chinatown Gold Center to buy some gold charms. It is located near the Carriedo Fountain and stands right next to the Sta. Cruz Church.

My favorite store there is Covo 24K Gold. As the name suggests, the shop sells 24K pure gold charms which can be combined with beads for a totally personal bracelet.

I chose rose quartz beads and a piyao good luck charm during my first visit to Covo 24K.

This time, I added heart, clover, and koi charms. I got to keep the extra rose quartz beads which they had to remove when they included the new charms.

I still believe that hard work and faith matter more than luck. These charms are simply reminders for me to enjoy the fruits of my labor, and to keep going so that I will be able to buy more charms in the future.

I hope that you will also visit this charming shop soon!
