I'll be down in cusco, peru in january and february 2020. I'll be finding special, hand crafted items from my favorite artisans in the san blas area. stay tuned for new items daily.
Sky Onyx Necklace with Unique Andean Wire Work With Braid and Matching Bracelet
This set is rare and I grabbed it up quick. The necklace has a beautiful, round Sky Agate that looks as a faint continent floating in the sky blue. The bracelet also has a beautiful round Sky Agate. Both pieces are designed by a street artist here in San Blas named Quelo. I've included a photo of him in the description here as he was working on this piece when I bought it. Otherwise, I'm sure it would have been gone.
Both are made with typical andean alpaca silver wire work designs that honor mother earth and the sky god via the Sky onyx.
Comes with earrings and I'll try to find them in sky onyx, but may have to find another similar blue.
Spondylus Purple Shell Necklace With Graduated Point Design
I have been looking for the rare purple Spondylus shell in jewelry and I found it in this amazing piece. Wow...stunning and beautifully executed with graduated sizes of the "spike" design. This is really a special piece.
Sky Onyx Alpaca Silver Wire Work Pendant With Floral Motif
I had this amazing pendant fabricated from a stone I found at Claudio's shop. This Sky Onyx Alpaca Silver Wire Work Pendant With Floral Motif is unique and stunning. Does not come with chain.
Spondylus Necklace With Clasp (Orange & Purple)
I've been looking high and low for more necklaces made of this shell. This beautiful Spondylus Necklace With Clasp has the Orange & Purple colors that the Inca so treasured. I will be stringing this on bead wire and putting a silver clasp on it before you get it. Right now it's just strung on fishing wire. Will come with matching earrings.
Andean Turquoise Pendant in Golden Brass With Pachamama Spirals With Matching Bracelet
This amazing Andean Turquoise Pendant Necklace is surrounded by Golden Brass Pachamama Spirals and comes with a matching bracelet of spirals in brass and copper. Comes with matching earrings.
Sky Onyx Alpaca Silver Wire Work Pendant
Found more Sky Onyx! I had this pendant fabricated and just received it from the artisan Claudio. This Sky Onyx pendant is rendered in Alpaca Silver Wire Work with the central stone of sky onyx. Beautiful! Does not come with chain.
Andean Opal Strand With Unique Shapes
This Opal Strand has beads of Unique Shapes and is really stunning. Comes with a simple clasp.
Andean Turquoise Strand Finished w Clasp
This amazingly beautiful strand of Andean Turquoise is a beautiful example of the raw stones that come right out of the ground here in Peru. Each bead has it's own personality and color profile. Comes with a simple Andean clasp.
Sky Onyx Sun Pendant in Brass (No Chain)
This amazing Sky Onyx Sun Pendant is made with golden Brass and is unique as I haven't found another one made with brass. It does not include a chain. It radiates different colors in different lighting situations. It looks like it may have a crack in it, but that's just part of the stone.
Spondylus Shell (Orange) Large Sun Pendant on Long Alpaca Silver Chain
This amazing teardrop shaped Spondylus shell pendant is embedded in alpaca silver to resemble the sun. It's a large pendant and it on a Long Alpaca Silver Chain. The Inca valued this shell more than they did gold. A very special piece that I've been wearing down here in Peru and always get compliments. May have to keep this piece is no one snaps it up.
