Philippine Native Jewelry As A Daily Accessory


Jewelries and accessories has been a part of our daily life that we never go out without wearing at least one or two. And if only you could just wear all those accessories you have for the people to see, you probably would. The jewelry that we wear usually reflects the person wearing it. That's why some would wear their most expensive jewelry just to be called rich. But because robbers and snatchers are everywhere, we just wear these jewelries on special occasions. 

We may limit wearing those super expensive jewelries but we still have another option which is the native jewelries. These native jewelries are made of natural resources that are very abundant in the Philippines. These natural resources are assorted shells, capiz shells, woods, coconuts, nuts and other indigenous materials that could be found in the Philippines. So instead of having the gold and silver jewelries we opted to wear these Philippines native jewelries. Though it is made of natural resources and a lot much cheaper than the gold and silver jewelries, these accessories has its own beauty and elegance.These jewelries/accessories are very comfortable to wear because you wouldn't worry that robbers would get/snatch your accessory because robbers don't snatch accessories like this because they prefer the gold/silver jewelry.


Native jewelries are not new to us because during the old eras our ancestors have been wearing jewelries already. These handmade accessories have been taking the fashion industry for a lot of years already but people are still fascinated with its radiating beauty.
