Manila is the flat, walkable pocket between Calle 10 and Avenida Las Vegas, packed with mid-stay apartments where digital nomads spend one to three months. With that much time, it is the ideal base for ordering gold or iced pieces, which take a little longer.
Manila is mid-stay territory: furnished apartments rented for one to three months, many by people working remotely from the cafés along Calle 11A while a visa or contract runs its course. That longer timeline changes what people order — instead of a quick piece for a short trip, Manila sees more requests for 14K or 18K gold and moissanite iced sets, because clients know they will be around long enough to wait out the 10 to 15 days those take to build.
The neighbourhood is flat from end to end, between Parque El Poblado and Avenida Las Vegas, so getting around by bike or EnCicla is as quick as calling a taxi. That lets us offer the mould during a lunch break, with no one closing their laptop for more than 20 minutes. If you are here on a fixed-term contract, book as soon as you sign the lease — that leaves plenty of room even for gold pieces, and if you move apartments partway through the process we only need your new address for delivery.

Landmarks in Manila
The blocks between Parque El Poblado and Avenida Las Vegas, the La Presidenta creek, and the remote-work cafés on Calle 11A.
Getting to the studio
Poblado Metro station is about a 10-minute walk. The neighbourhood is flat, so cycling or the EnCicla public bikes also work well.
Visits to your home, hotel or Airbnb
If you work from your apartment, we can take the mould during your lunch break — impressions take around 20 minutes and you never leave the building.
Timing
Manila visits are available most days; usually under 15 minutes' drive within El Poblado.
