Indian Lac Bangles

Who knew so much beauty could come from animal secretions? These Indian Bangles are made from Lac, an animal secretion that becomes a resin when it hardens. It comes from the Indian insect named Kerria lac Kerr not visible with the naked eye. It is non toxic. It is also pliable when heated so it is easily formed into these magnificent looking bangles which would complement any attire.

Elly, a Davao-based retailer, sells these thin one color bangles for only PhP160 for a set of 12, and PhP 90 for a set of six. One set consists of one color only. You can buy different sets of colors and mix and match them to your hearts delight.
Elly also sells more elaborate sets for only PhP200. Each set contains 4 - 6 bangles of different kinds that are already matched.
These bangles are perfect to wear during day and night. It is also a good gift idea for your girlfriends and girl friend (if you’re a guy) this Valentine’s Day. And also for other occassions. It may also be a good give away for debuts, dinner parties, and even weddings.
To order or buy these bangles, you may contact Elly at 0917-9585494.

Thanks for the post Ria! You got me dumb struck when you wrote that Lac comes from insect secretions. Eeew…
All I was told is that it comes from a tree in India. Although it is still partly true that Lac comes from a tree, coz the trees serve as hosts for the insects. Silly me, I should have done some reading myself. Thanks again.
