T'nalak Capiz Kite
Adorn yourself with the striking beauty and profound cultural heritage of our T'nalak Capiz Kite earrings. These aren't just accessories; they are a vibrant testament to Philippine artistry and a powerful statement of support for indigenous communities.
Each earring is a masterpiece of light and color, featuring a geometric kite shape crafted from genuine T'nalak fabric. This sacred cloth, hand-woven by the master artisans of the T'boli tribe of Lake Sebu, Mindanao, is made from abaca fibers and colored with natural dyes. The T'nalak’s intricate patterns are believed to be divinely inspired, revealed to the weavers in their dreams by the goddess of abaca, Fu Dalu—earning the T'boli the name "Dreamweavers."
The T'nalak's earthy, intricate beauty is perfectly complemented by the ethereal glow of a capiz shell base, which catches the light with a delicate, translucent shimmer. Dangling above it, a golden red quartz bead gleams with a deep, fiery brilliance. This stone is believed to embody passion, vitality, and clarity, while the capiz shell represents illumination and purity.
Suspended from durable gold-plated stainless steel earwires, these earrings are designed to be a comfortable yet bold statement piece. By wearing the T'nalak Capiz Kite earrings, you are not only celebrating a unique fusion of natural materials and expert craftsmanship but also actively contributing to the preservation of the rich cultural legacy of the T'boli people.
