Fruits of the Philippines
This collection is inspired by our popular native fruits and the legends behind them.
The Story:
The legend of the makopa tells the story of a town blessed with a miraculous bell. Jealous villagers from the next town sought to take the bell for themselves, but it was hidden before they could find it. It was hidden so well though that it was never found, until a new bell-shaped fruit started to grow.
The Fruits of the Philippines is a collection of popular Filipino fruits, including mango, guava, makopa, and more! Each little fruit is inspired by traditional folktales about each fruit’s origin. Read them here.
Each piece is handwoven by yours truly using tiny glass beads. It took me nearly 6 months to perfect each fruit, as I really wanted to get the proportions of our native fruits just right. This collection is a labor of love, and my way of sharing Filipino stories with the world.
Size: Drops 2 cm
Materials: Glass seed beads, freshwater pearls waxed thread, stainless steel earring studs or hoops. Stainless steel findings make these safe for sensitive ears.
