Shine as bright as the sun with our Silang K’daw earrings! Designed by Tboli brass-casters, our earrings are inspired by the sun’s rays as they peek out from behind clouds and mountaintops. It’s a new day, after all.
This piece was handcrafted by Indigenous Tboli artisans of Lake Sebu, South Cotabato in the Philippines. The Tboli are celebrated as visionary brass-casters, woodworkers, and “Dreamweavers”. The art of Temwel (brass-casting) is an honoured tradition passed down for generations.
To craft each piece, the artisans use upcycled brass and other metal scraps from local junk shops. These are then transformed into new designs that honor Tboli tradition, folklore, and nature. Temwel involves a complex process of wax rolling, clay molding, and molten metal casting that usually takes days to complete.
