Pulseras Ivatan Gold Band Bracelet – a slice of history wrapped around your wrist with a golden embrace!
Each thin sheet of gold is hammered and shaped to perfection, each strike echoing the craftsmanship of generations past. As you slip it on, you're not just adorning your wrist – you're embracing a forgotten cultural heritage, breathing life back into a legacy lost to time.
It is nod to the Ivatan tradition, a celebration of Batanes heritage, and a touch of elegance all rolled into one. Plus, with its traditional lock mechanism, slipping it on your wrist (or even your arm, if you're feeling particularly adventurous) is a breeze.
So why not embrace the past with a sprinkle of modern magic? After all, some things are just too beautiful to be left in the shadows of history.
About the Craftmanship: The artistry of gold filigree craftsmanship has been practiced by native plateros for centuries. The platero begins by melting blocks of gold or silver, repeatedly hammering and cooling them until they become fine and delicate threads. The threads are carefully shaped by hand into "kalado" or lace-like patterns inspired by nature. To craft more intricate pieces, the platero individually welds small drops together to form beautiful heirlooms.
