Abaca Earrings

The Abaca comes from a species of banana that is native to the Philippines. It
is extracted from the leaf – steams of the Manila hemp , a self- sustaining
plant.

Salakot

is a traditional lightweight  headgear from

the Philippines used for protection against the sun and rain. They are usually
dome-shaped or cone-shaped and can range in size from having very wide
brims to being almost helmet-like. They are made from various materials
including bamboo, rattan, nito ferns, and bottle gourd. The tip of the crown
commonly has a spiked or knobbed finial made of metal or wood. It is held in
place by an inner headband and a chinstrap. [1] Salakot is also spelled
as salacot in Spanish and salacco in French. It is the direct precursor to the pith
helmet (also called salacot in Spanish and French) widely used by European
military forces in the colonial era.
 Spiral Shell Pendant Memory Wire Necklace

The symbol of the spiral can push the viewer to be flexible and have trust when
things change. The spiral of the shell suggests involution and evolution (going inwards
and coming outwards). I used to think that sea shells were merely beautiful objects
from nature. One of the oldest geometric shapes found throughout the ancient world
are spirals.

Boaya
Necklace
Necklace made from boar’s tusks and runo reed in between. Men wear this together with
the tangkil (this collection) during ceremonies and rituals such as in the begnas ritual for rice production.
Observable inlaid designs on the runo sticks. Rattan basketry weave is designed on each of the tusks. It is worn by
priests and warriors during rituals. Older versions of this are made from crocodile teeth, which is why this
ornament is named after the local term for crocodile. Such objects are now considered a heirloom. Traditional
materials are no longer available for their production. But nowadays, this ornament is sometimes reproduced and
worn during cultural festivals.
