The hand carved design in this Gourd Necklace makes it one of a kind. No two designs are exactly alike, and this style features two impressive birds. The gourd is placed in a .950 handcrafted sterling silver setting, which gives it a stylish look. When it comes to handcrafted jewelry, mate (ma-tay) is one of the most interesting and unique art forms used today. This ancient art can be traced back many centuries, and still amazes those who see it. The bird and flower motif on this necklace makes it a perfect accessory for spring!
If you’ve visited our site in the past, you probably remember our classic eternity spiral bracelet. The eternity symbol makes it a special piece of handcrafted jewelry. Now, we are featuring a brand new Sterling Silver Eternity Swirl Necklace in our handcrafted necklaces category. This design is a classic, yet it is still fun. The small size means it can complement many different outfits without being overpowering. We have also just added a dainty pair of Eternity Swirl Earrings. The small posts are the perfect complement to this handcrafted necklace. Worn alone or by themselves, the pieces in our Eternity Symbol Collection are special pieces of handcrafted jewelry. Any of them would also make a great jewelry gift, because they symbolize the thought of forever, which can show her how much you really care.
This sterling silver bracelet was just added to our collection. It has a simple rolo design, but is handcrafted for the best quality. Unlike machine-made chains, it will not break or tarnish. With the proper care (a quick dip in silver polish occasionally) this bracelet will be a lasting piece for your handcrafted jewelry collection. Our Sterling Silver Rolo Bracelet is also a great gift, especially if you are unsure of the recipient’s taste. Any woman would enjoy a simple sterling silver bracelet.
We’ve added several handcrafted jewelry styles to the website in the last week, including many new Huayruro designs. Huayruro is one of our most popular collections, because it is so unique. Most people have never heard of Huayruro seeds before they see Tikanchay handcrafted jewelry, but once they wear them, they’re hooked! We are especially excited about the new Huayruro handcrafted earrings. Huayruros are simple yet elegant, and are sure to spark conversation. These exotic seed earrings always receive compliments.
This inlaid stone and shell bracelet is another recently added style. The purple and orange elements come from the spondylus shell, which has been prized for centuries in Peru. The cream color is mother of pearl, and the blue is sodalite, a native Peruvian stone. With a traditional Peruvian design, this bracelet is a great example of a modern take on Peruvian jewelry. The band is made with leather, which is then finished with a sterling silver clasp. This spondylus bracelet would make a unique jewelry gift for any occasion.
With all of the new styles arriving at Tikanchay, we’ll try to highlight them here on our blog. This new Huayruro seed bracelet is one of the most classic styles in our Huayruro collection. Sterling silver beads alternate with the good luck seeds, creating a simple but beautiful look. As one of our newest styles, this bracelet is sure to become a customer favorite. With limited quantities, now is the perfect time to order. This seed bracelet is a perfect gift for someone who is starting a new chapter in her life, or someone who could just use a pick me up. The Huayruro seeds are said to bring good fortune and abundance, and are also said to ward off negative energy. Their vibrant color is sure to boost her mood, too!
New designs are arriving at Tikanchay, and we’re excited to share them with you! Not only have we found new styles, but also new artisans that share our vision of adapting traditional Peruvian jewelry for modern tastes. We will be expanding our online collection during the next week or two, so be sure to take a look at the new styles being added. And join our e-mail list to be one of the first to know about new items and promotions. Our handcrafted artisan jewelry is the most unique accent you can add to your wardrobe, with one of a kind pieces from Peru.
When I visit the artisan markets of Peru, I love to see the variety of Peruvian Jewelry that is available. In my many trips to this beautiful country, I have found the best places to find specific kinds of jewelry, like carved gourd designs, huayruro seed Peruvian necklaces, and inlaid stone and shell pieces. It is interesting to see each artisans’ personal style, but there is no denying that certain artisans just have a higher level of talent and expertise when it comes to certain jewelry styles. At Tikanchay, we make sure our Peruvian jewelry collection is made up of the best pieces we find, like this Peruvian Cross Pendant. We wear the jewelry ourselves to make sure it meets our strict quality standards before passing it on to our loyal customers.
On Valentine’s Day, it’s the thought that counts. A thoughtful gift can speak volumes about your feelings for that special someone. A handcrafted jewelry gift is a great way to accent her style while showing her you care. The hard part is choosing something that will really stand out, since most stores sell similar styles. A butterfly wing pendant is a unique idea that will truly impress her. Unlike the same styles she has seen over and over again, she will treasure a piece of real butterfly wing jewelry. Even better, the heart shape is perfect for Valentine’s Day. And like all of the handcrafted necklaces in the Tikanchay collection, it is made with .950 sterling silver.
With Valentine’s Day coming soon, now is the time to choose a piece of artisan jewelry for that special someone. At Tikanchay, there are a variety of artisan bracelets, earrings and necklaces to match different tastes. We know every woman has her personal style, and we look to provide our customers with a pleasing selection of sterling silver jewelry that allows everyone to choose something that will highlight their particular style. For the woman who prefers simplicity, this Silver Black Bracelet is a sophisticated choice, and is sure to become a regular part of her wardrobe.
