A timeless piece of Filipino heritage reimagined for the modern era.

The Padumna Pearl Tambourine Necklace combines minimalist elegance with the intricate beauty of gold filigree craftsmanship from Ilocos Sur. Inspired by the Ilocano word padumna, meaning “beside” or “adjacent to,” this piece revives the traditional Padumna bead once found beside the Amami (Our Father) bead in rosaries of the Spanish colonial period.

Its flat, circular pendant features overlapping spindles reminiscent of a pinwheel in motion—symbolizing continuity, faith, and strength. Each pendant is meticulously handcrafted by Filipino plateros, artisans who have perfected the ancient art of filigree, shaping precious metal into lace-like patterns that honor our pre-colonial heritage.
