MAYARI - In Filipino mythology, Mayari is the fierce warrior goddess of the moon. She embodies strength and beauty.
A fearless demi-goddess, she is the daughter of a mortal woman and Bathala, the king of the gods. She is the sister of Tala (goddess of the stars) and Hanan (goddess of the morning).
Diyosa is the Tagalog word for goddess. The ancient gods and goddesses of Greek and Roman Mythology have been widely celebrated and honored by people around the world. Philippine Mythology is also overflowing with ancient deities - representing everything from nature, to love, strength, beauty and wisdom. Why not celebrate them too? Honouring my Filipino heritage has always been important to me, especially through my work. The rich history of gods and goddesses of the Philippines date back to pre-colonial times, yet much of this history is slowly being erased. My wish for this collection is to pay homage to my cultural roots and share the magic of the gods and goddesses of my ancestors.
Handcrafting these earrings is a true labour of love. From hand-cut moons, to handmade hooks, to the details of the hand-stamped constellations and lunar textures, no two pairs will be exactly the same.

Jewellery Care:
Brass is such a beautiful metal for a wide-variety of pieces, from everyday jewellery to big statement accessories. It’s durable & versatile – it can shine like gold, or develop a gorgeous patina for a lovely rustic look. All our brass jewellery is made from pure, untreated brass. It will develop a tarnish over time, but don’t fret! It can always be easily cleaned to look like new again. Brass can last a lifetime if properly cared for. Clean brass regularly to maintain the bright, golden shine. Or leave as is and allow the brass to develop a sought-after natural patina for a gorgeous rustic look.
