T'boli brass chokers are traditional, handcrafted adornments from the T'boli people of Lake Sebu, Mindanao, Philippines. These intricate and handmade pieces are forged using a lost-wax casting technique  called temwel. The addition of colorful glass beads and tiny bells are believed to ward off spirits. 
 
The T'boli people often repurpose recycled brass from salvaged church bells and bullets.
