Ferenc Hopp visited Manila on his last round-the-world trip in 1913-1914. It is assumed that he collected the elongated silver and gold-plated pendants from the Philippines, one of which is shown in the attached photograph. Each pair is richly inlaid with real pearls and is characterised by sun, flower, diamond, bow and other motifs, meticulous workmanship and a refined taste.
