Gugma Toe Ring
Gugma Toe Ring
The Gugma is patterned after the Banig. The Banig is a familiar object in Filipino heritage and culture. The intricacy of this weave is often associated with domestic care work and unseen labor, reminding us of the women who make everyday survival possible. When worn on the body, it becomes a form of armor–a reminder of that resilience we carry throughout the day.
Gugma Care Guide: The Gugma ring needs extra care. Its wrap-around banig weave design has thinner tension points within the texture. Avoid pulling or applying pressure directly on these areas. When adjusting, maintain the ring’s round shape. Don’t fold, pinch, or sharply bend the brass — this can cause stress cracks over time. Check the Care Guide below for more information.

Material
Material
Our updated brass material is crafted from upcycled brass bullet casings–a material made more malleable without losing its strength or resilience. This choice is symbolic as much as material: a transformation of objects once tied to destruction into pieces that adorn the body that carry presence, memory, and power.
We are in partnership with Tboli brass casters, Sesotunawa, practicing the traditional Art of Temwel, preserving ancestral processes. Due to its handcrafted characteristics, expect natural marks. Read our Care Guide to know more.
Care Guide
Care Guide
The brass used in our products are created from upcycled brass bullets. Brass naturally softens and develops character with wear. Minor marks and patina are normal. Expect the brass to become more matte over time. However, you may effectively restore its shine through these following options:
- OPTION 1
Use Pledge Metal Polish with a soft cloth.
- OPTION 2
Combine lemon and baking soda to create a paste. Rub the paste on the brass. Rinse with water then wipe dry.
Other things to note:
Saltwater can help keep brass bright, so beach trips are welcome. Rinse and dry after swimming to avoid residue buildup.
Store dry when not in use, especially after exposure to water, sweat, lotion, or perfume.
