Bamboo Bookmark with Bespoke Baybayin Engraving

A personal touch from the Baybayin Collection — minimalist, meaningful, and made just for you. Each design honours our indigenous script, weaving your story into everyday pieces that bridges past and present. Product Details ❀ Bamboo Bookmark with Waxed Cotton Strings ❀ Your piece will be custom laser engraved back-to-back with your selected Baybayin word, name, or phrase, using our exclusive Mga Sulat ng Puso font. ❀ Each engraving is thoughtfully sized and placed to suit your bookmark, making every piece uniquely yours. ❀ Wear your story in Baybayin script—let your bookmark carry a memory, a wish, or a word close to your heart. How to Request Your Engraving ❀ Write your Baybayin texts (or the word you wish to translate) in the Order Notes at checkout for both sides. Maximum of 5 Baybayin characters per side. ❀ Baybayin is phonetic—write your word as it sounds, breaking it down into syllables (e.g., BA-R-KA-DA for “barkada” [4 characters]). ❀ For special requests or to send a reference image, email ukit@akingsinta.co.uk with your order number. ❀ If ordering more than one necklace/variation, please clarify which engraving goes with each piece. Baybayin Writing Rules (Quick Guide) ❀ Baybayin does not use the letters “C,” “F,” “J,” “Q,” “V,” “X,” or “Z”—substitute with the closest Filipino sound. ❀ Each symbol represents a syllable (consonant + vowel: e.g., “ba,” “ka,” “da”). By default, each character ends with “a.” ❀ Add a kudlit (dot/mark) above for “e/i” or below for “o/u.” ❀ To cancel the vowel sound (write a final consonant), use a pamudpod or a krus. Vowel remover marks (if any) will be chosen based on engraving space and design, but to specifically request either: ❀ For pamudpod, write a comma after the syllable (e.g., BA-R,-KA-DA). ❀ For krus, write a plus sign after the syllable (e.g., BA-R+-KA-DA). Two-Sided Engravings ❀ The default for back-to-back engravings, if only one word is provided, will be the Baybayin script and its translation on the other side in the font Quintessential. ❀ If you’d like different engravings on each side, specify clearly in Order Notes or by email (e.g., “Side 1: Lakas / Side 2: Ganda”). Important Notes ❀ Custom engraving adds 1 extra working day to order processing. ❀ Custom-made items are non-refundable.
