Delightful, glimmering semi-precious stones. Only the highest quality (.950) sterling silver. Exceptional workmanship from brilliantly inspired artisans who carefully hand craft each piece of jewelry. Traditional Peruvian stones, shells and seeds, all with a unique symbolic significance and a reputed power; all of these combined are what help raise handmade Peruvian artisan jewelry a world above simple craft project items, and turn them into highly prized, wearable art.

Skilled artisans are adept at creating subtle and understated details using fine silver and embellishments, crafting unique and one-of-a-kind pieces anyone would love to display and wear. This is a far cry from simply stringing beads and chains together as a craft project. These outstanding pieces are designed and produced one at a time by highly trained Peruvian artists using only the finest materials and instruments, combining their modern design training with their cultural traditions. Using an expertise born from experience and training, these artisans delicately create each piece, taking into account the size and shape of each gem, the strength of each seed, and the significance of each stone. Every piece is meticulously crafted with the wearer in mind. Details such as how the piece will drape on the wrist or neck, or off the ears are taken into account with each jewelry component constructed.

The most obvious difference will be felt once you are wearing any of the pieces. The weight and balance of each and every piece have been painstakingly thought out, so that the pieces sway and hang comfortably with each movement. The stones, seeds and shells are each carefully and precisely placed, with the express purpose of catching the most light, reflecting the most shine, and showcasing the amazing density of detail and color they possess. Wearing these pieces will be an unparalleled pleasure and they are definitely what you would call "wearable art" and feel instantly comfortable once on. The jewelry designs are understated enough to allow you to wear them with almost any ensemble, and yet they are beautifully exquisite eye-catching trimmings. They are truly the perfect accessories, and you will certainly receive many comments and compliments on them.

As a gift, these pieces are a superlative choice. Along with the design and color, you can select stones, shells and seeds by their Peruvian symbolism and purported power. In this way each piece can be distinctively personalized. This will ensure an exceptional one-of-a-kind gift, sure to delight any recipient.
