Sinangag Necklace

$345.00

A necklace inspired by sinangag—day-old rice fried with aromatics—made with rice pearls and subtle accents.

Sinangag is made from what remains.
Day-old rice, returned to the pan, fried slowly with aromatics until each grain separates and holds its own. Eaten early and without ceremony.

This necklace draws from that everyday practice. Rice pearls form the length of the piece, repeated and steady. Among them, a few yellow and grey pearl appears—garlic and onion remembered not as flavor, but as presence. A clear quartz bead adds a quiet sheen, catching light the way oil coats rice as it cooks.

Knotted by hand, the necklace carries a quiet rhythm—repetitive, patient, and meant to be worn often.

There is nothing ornamental about sinangag. It is practical, sustaining, and familiar. This piece carries that same sensibility—meant to be worn often, layered easily, and lived with over time.
