14k gold-plated charms juxtaposed with a pair of Indonesia batik yoyos, oozing lotsa of good old-fashioned Peranakan charm. The Peranakans or Straits-born Chinese are a result of inter-marriages between Chinese men and Malay (non-Muslim) ladies, creating a new breed of generation known as the Peranakans. The Peranakans speak pre-dominantly Baba Malay (even though most of them were English-educated and tend to be more affluent than most of the local Chinese back then) - which according to my mum, a Peranakan, is a mish mash of Malay and Hokkien. "Baba" refers to the Peranakan men, while "Nonya" refers to the women.This pair of earrings possesses a strong Peranakan element as the Peranakans (in the olden days) wear a lot of the kebaya, pairing it with sarong made of the batik fabric.
So why wait? Grab a piece of the Peranakan heritage now!
This pair of earrings is *ONE-OF-A-KIND!
