The Story:
The Sampaguita is our national flower, and a symbol of love and devotion. The buds of our local jasmine are strung together to make garlands, which are sold at churches on Sundays and special feast days. Churchgoers buy these garlands and offer them with their prayers to the saints, adorning their images with these ephemeral jewels.
The garlands are as much a Filipino cultural icon as the flower itself, and I wanted to pay homage to that. The Sampaguita Garland Necklace features delicate carved shell sampaguita buds and crystal beads on a tambourin-esque chain – an ode to a beautiful symbol of home.
Size: 16" plus 2" extender chain.
Materials: Glass beads, wire, gold-tone stainless steel chain and findings. Stainless steel findings make these safe for sensitive ears.
Orders ship out by mid-May.
