Legacy Continued

Santiago’s daughter, the late Amada Ocampo-Gutierrez, alongside her husband, Victor, carried on her father’s vision and legacy by putting up their own fine jewellery shop in the bustling city of Olongapo.
They catered to transient passengers, visiting service men, and merchants in the Subic Bay area.

The Next Generation

From Amada and Victor’s eight children, four graduated from the Gemological Institute of America, California, in the 1980’s. Vittsi, Louie, and Loo earned degrees in Gemology while the youngest, Dulzzi, received a certificate in Jewellery Design. Each of them pursued apprenticeship and further training to hone their craft in various reputable institutions in the USA.

These third generation Ocampo’s pioneers continue to contribute fresh ideas and innovations, making the Ocampo’s Fine Jewellery brand globally competitive and cherished by its patrons.
