In its most popular form, the anting-anting is an indigenous Philippine amulet, believed to protect its wearer. Inspired by the cultural cues of our ancestors, these charms are an extension of the Filipino belief that everyday objects are imbued with symbols to heal, protect, strengthen, and manifest.

MAAARI’s Anting Anting collection is our version of this safeguarding talisman — an homage to the ancestral spirits that guide us. This necklace comes with 3 charms (5 charms pictured), each symbolizing affirmations we strive to instill in our day to day:

Pakudos = Protection
Tao Tao= Peace
Sampaguita = Hope

Made with fresh water pearls. Charms come in high polished brass on a 16" 14/20  gold fill chain. Charms are approximately 15mm in diameter

**Please note that the photos show 5 charms, and this necklace comes with 3 of those charms: The people holding hands (Tao Tao), the flower (Sampaguita), and the charm on the far right of the first picture (Pakudos).

ABOUT THE MAKERS

We are proud to partner with minority/family-owned Kegulian Jewelers in downtown Los Angeles to produce our Anting-Anting charms. Kegulian uses sustainably sourced, recycled metals to cast our pieces. After casting, the pieces are hand-finished and then sent to our Maaari studio where the pieces take their final form. All pieces are made with ethically-mined metal and sustainably-sourced earth stones.

TAKE CARE

Brass naturally oxidizes over time and have found that we appreciate the patina. Renew your piece's shine with vinegar, water, baking soda, and a polishing cloth. To delay oxidation, keep your MAAARI jewelry away from moisture.

We pride ourselves on providing high quality, hand-made jewelry. We want all of your favorite MAAARI pieces to last forever. In this spirit, we are proud to offer lifetime repairs on all MAAARI jewelry at no cost.
