I thought today that instead of writing about Tikanchay from my point of view, I would share with you an email that I received recently from someone who had just found our site. Here goes:
“After doing some brief searching for a gift for a friend. I was told about a very unique website filled with the finest artisan jewelry ever. Once on the site, I just stared in amazement at the beauty of the pieces I found, jewelry made from organic materials, colors that are outstanding, and amazing materials such as butterfly wings, stones and seeds.
Of course, I’m talking about your site and your Tikanchay jewelry. One piece that I was fascinated with was the brilliant red and black bracelet made from huayruro seeds. I was so intrigued by your story about the power of the seed that I looked it up and there it was: The huaryruro is a tree that stands about 40 meters in height, there are two variations of this particular tree one of which is a female plant. It produces the black seeds while the male produces the red seeds. The seeds are believed to bring good luck and fortune to those who wear it.” You tell the truth!
After browsing through your website, I became envious; Oh, to travel to the beautiful country of Peru and learn the history behind the artistry of each piece that you find for your collections. I for one can’t wait for my huaryruro bracelet to arrive. Frankly, I expected to find such finery at a higher price and I was surprised at how affordable the pieces are.
I want to just say thank you for sharing the amazing craftsmanship of the silver bracelets, earrings and necklaces. I could get lost for hours just looking at each piece then trying to decide what to buy. If I could afford it, I’d buy them all, keep some for myself and share the rest with friends and family.
I just discovered that I love Peruvian jewelry!”
