Tambourine Necklace
One of the oldest heritage pieces in our collection is this tambourine necklace.
Back in the Spanish colonial period, these necklaces were prominently worn by people of power and influence. It served both as a religious item and a status symbol.
Erma, our platera, wants more people to see and appreciate this centuries-old craft. Over the decades, the tambourine necklace’s design has also evolved. Our piece features intricately formed filigree balls of various sizes, held together by a relicario at its center.
The relicario is a medallion that traditionally carries sacred relics or religious images.
Size: Approximately
Chain = 28 inches

To preserve the quality of your jewelry, we highly recommend to:

When not wearing your jewelry, be sure to store it in the custom pouch it came in. This helps prevent scratching and maintain the color/shine of the 24k gold plating as well as the sterling silver.
La Platera
Traditional handmade jewelry making is a skill that Erma learned from her mother and grandmother.
Using traditional tools in her humble workshop in Dauis, Bohol, she meticulously creates these elegant pieces in our collection.
