These reimagined Guita studs capture the symmetry and shimmer of Capiz windows in delicate petals around a pearl center. They celebrate Filipino ingenuity, mindful materials, and the creative hands that shape them.
Wear them as a reminder that knowing your roots is knowing your people, your history, and the beauty of what emerges when both are honored.
About the craftmanship
These Capiz pieces showcase the remarkable mastery of Negros artisans, whose 15–25 years of experience and deep knowledge of natural materials make each creation possible. The Capiz shells are first meticulously cleaned, then carefully roasted to dry and brighten their color—the longer the roast, the warmer the hue—before being shaped into geometric window silhouettes. This intricate process, combined with the use of lightweight Hagnaya vine, allows the Capiz pieces to maintain both elegance and durability. Each design reflects a meaningful collaboration with designer Mia, celebrating Filipino culture and history while transforming it into contemporary, wearable art.
