I got the Buko Wire Bracelet as a gift when I first visited the Philippines. I loved it and was wearing it almost every single day for the last three years. Three weeks ago, I unfortunately lost it. I learned that you are shipping the jewelry also to Germany now and so I bought a new one. It does look a bit different what proves that the jewelry is really handmade and every piece is unique. The payment procedure was super easy via PayPal and I received the jewelry within about two weeks. I love it so much and restarted wearing it every day. Thank you very much.

Love the design! But, what I really love about my Bluko Wire Bracelet is the fact I have a piece of TBoli culture with me wherever I go. As a Filipino, I am super proud to wear my Bluko bracelet and tell its story to others.
