Dona Salvadora was a well known socialite of Lipa. Married to the coffee king of Lipa, Salvadora loved diamonds and was one of the few women in Lipa whose slippers were encrusted with precious gems. For grand bailes, very fine, long golden pins with dangling, diamond-studded pendants decorated the embroidered pina sleeves of her traje de mestiza blouse, turning her every movement into a shimmering display as she danced her way around the ballroom floor. Even her fan was studded with diamonds to catch and throw back sparkling light with every movement of her hand.
