#KnowYourTambourine: Can you guess which aquatic animal this pendant was inspired from?

Drawing inspiration from their natural environment, Filipino goldsmiths named and patterned the butete after the pufferfish. Botete in Tagalog, the pufferfish is a highly poisonous species of fish that inflates itself and reveals pointed spines as a defense mechanism when threatened. A smaller version of the butete is known as the puriket.

The Butete Pendant Necklace comes with an adjustable 16-18" chain for you to be able to change lengths depending on your mood and outfit. Wear it on its own or layer it on with your other precious keepsakes. It is wearable art for your neck that you'll want to wear time and time again.

Minimalist for Everyday Wear

This necklace gives you a simple yet classic look for your casual wear may it be in the grocery, cinemas or a coffee date or at the beach. It goes well on my white tee! :)

I also love the fact that it is hypoallergenic even my skin is allergic to metals, I didn't feel any itch at all. Finally confident to wear necklace for a whole day long.

So dainty!!

I got this as a Mother's Day gift, and my mom really appreciated the story behind the craft and the making of this necklace! I was a little worried that the details would get lost because it's coated in gold, but you can still see everything :) I asked for this to be packaged with gift wrap separate from the rest of my order, and the gift was perfect!!

Absolutely stunning, even for its size. It's really great for everyday wear, and goes with any outfit. Hoping to invest in a larger piece someday.
