It can be so hard to choose gifts that are original and unique, but if you or someone you know loves jewelry, there is no better gift than exquisitely crafted jewelry from Peru. It captures all the majesty and simplicity of nature and can be made from bronze, copper, woven hemp, leather, glass, shell, stone, gourd, or silver. Local artists find the inspiration for their craft in the culture and land around them, and the results are stunning! Specializing in circles, which represented the sun god in the ancient Inca culture, they also craft in other traditional geometrical forms as well as flowers, birds and other animals. Concentric circles especially were symbolic of the sun’s light, and are still classically beautiful over 400 years later! Peruvian jewelry captures the beauty of the countryside and the majesty of the Inca culture. Each piece has its own personality and incorporates native cultural elements and materials like inlaid stone or silver braid. These stunning pieces are artisan handcrafted and can be in the beautiful bright colors of the Peruvian culture, or in classic sterling silver. These pieces of jewelry make beautiful and unique gifts that will make a wonderful addition to any collection- including yours!
