The artist parlayed his talents for a limited edition jewelry collection that reflects distinct periods in the histories of Pampanga, where Eduardo was born and reared, and Surigao, where Agsam Fern Fashion Accessories is situated. Gina Nebrida Ty, the creator of Agsam Fern Fashion Accessories, envisioned a discussion between Eduardo and Surigao's indigenous craftspeople for the project. Eduardo used the pukpuk method to produce pendants that are reminiscent of the ancient gold jewelry that was inadvertently discovered in Surigao in the early 1980s. The remarkable collection is regarded as a major archeological find since it shows advanced jewelry-making processes that were already in use in the Asian region long before Western explorers arrived.
