NILUSUK

She's actually the younger sibling of my grandfather yet we fondly call her "Cha Tinang" probably because that is how my mom calls her and she doesn't really look that grand granny that she is but one thing that reminds me of her is none other than her boisterous laughter. Cha Tinang has a stentorian voice she could call you out from the other terrain vociferating. On the other hand, she dropped by our house forty-eight hours ago and started her usual antics with those beaming cheeks and toothsome smile and caught my attention with those thingies she wore on her ears. According to her and the swarming local paparazzis that those earrings are called NILUSOK, little polygons strewn on circular bronze all over and were believed to have been worn by well-to-do folks (women) in the early times. The pair she actually wore was handed to her by her late mother. I really got fascinated by its design- its minimalistic design that you could rarely see among those who wear earring. So far, she's the only person I have seen with those stuff on. Can you possibly inform me should you find someone wearing such type of earrings?
