Handcrafted by T’boli artisan Rosebell Ungkal through Mdu, the traditional T’boli art of braiding, these earrings bring together intricate hand-braided details, warm metal links, and luminous dangling accents in a striking contemporary form.
Each element is carefully formed and connected by hand, reflecting the patience, precision, and practiced skill behind Rosebell's craft. The contrast of deep black, gold-toned metal, and soft iridescence gives the piece a refined yet distinctive character.
Lightweight in appearance yet rich in detail, the Ugnay Mdu Earrings offer a contemporary way to wear and appreciate a T’boli braiding tradition that continues to evolve through the hands of its makers.
