In the Philippines, a butterfly or moth appearing in an unexpected place is interpreted as a visit from a departed loved one. This pair of fine silver, granulated butterfly earrings honors this belief. Delicate and shimmering, the glint of the granules as they catch the light are as ephemeral as the winged creatures they represent, as fleeting as the warm moment of remembering someone who is gone but somehow always present.

Kristine Cabanban

Kristine Cabanban’s attention to detail is on full display in the artist’s carefully-crafted gold and silver jewelry. With minimal silhouettes that mirror the body, Cabanban’s modernist creations are as comfortable to wear as they are beautiful. Ancient techniques, such as granulation, where tiny balls of fine silver or high karat gold are attached to a backsheet by fusing (without using solder), feature in Cabanban’s timeless jewelry.
