Bituon Stud Earrings

The Story

For generations the stars guided our ancestors through their day to day lives. They were the light that led them through the darkness on the high seas, and their movement across the skies told them of the changing of the seasons.

The stars were also worshipped as deities. In the Visayas, they were the silver shards of the goddess Lisuga. Among the Tagalog, the morning star was the goddess Tala.

The Bituon Earrings are inspired by the star motifs found in traditional Filipino weaves from Luzon and Mindanao. This pair adds the perfect precolonial Filipino touch for everyday wear.

Materials: solid brass earrings, silver earring posts and locks. Silver makes this safe for sensitive ears.
