Bayanihan jewelry was created by designer W. Thomas Burns, who founded the company in Massachusetts in 1974 after working in the Peace Corps in the Philippines. The name "Bayanihan" translates to "working together," reflecting the collaboration with Filipino artisans. The pieces are known for their elegant, modern, and sculptural designs, often blending sterling silver with 18k or 14k gold accents. The earrings in the image feature a distinctive modernist, somewhat organic or "puffy" shape, which is a signature of the brand's style.
