BUGHAW | blue

Bughaw, Tagalog for 'blue', is my tribute to the endless azure that embraces the Philippines. The pieces in this collection evoke cherished memories of island life — the river that flowed behind Lolo and Lola's back garden with its cliff-side view overlooking the banana farm, mini waterfalls and springs that sparkled in the sunlight, and hiking through rivers and waterfalls in El Nido's breathtaking landscapes.

Blending raw, irregularly shaped stones with natural gemstones such as aquamarine, lapis lazuli, and sodalite, this collection brings the vibrant blues of our seas and skies to your everyday wear. From the serene lakes of San Pablo City where Lolo learned to swim using floating coconuts instead of plastic floaters, to the crystal-clear waters of Palawan's hidden gems, Bughaw captures the spirit of adventure that flows through Filipino veins.

Bughaw is more than jewellery; it's a celebration of the waters that connect our scattered islands and the boundless skies that stretch beyond our horizons. Let these pieces remind you of serene lakes and seas where generations learned to swim and fish, connecting deeply to our heritage, of the vast, endless, and liberating nature of our island identity.

Embrace Bughaw pieces to nurture your connection to the waters that shaped our family stories, to inspire a sense of freedom and wonder, and to keep the serene beauty of Philippine waters close to your heart, no matter how far your journey carries you across distant seas.
