Art is defined as the creation of beautiful or significant things, and artisan jewelry certainly fits that description. With all the different designs and colors each piece expresses something distinctive. Artisan jewelry is handcrafted by the artist to be unique, a story told with a timeless piece. Artisan Jewelry is not just some mass produced everyday item you can find at any store you frequent, it is art at its finest giving the owner of such a piece a whole new verity of expression. Some of the finest wearable art comes from the Peruvian artists who work with Tikanchay. With their native traditions and modern touch they make some of the finest wearable art available. A perfect example is the art of etching designs on dried gourd and setting it in sterling silver to make unique artisan necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. One of the artisan jewelry designs that has been a Customer Favorite is our Pair of Doves necklace in silver, shown below. Two artisans collaborate to create this silver necklace. We only have a few left and then we’ll be retiring this design from our collection for the time being as we introduce new and different Peruvian necklaces.
