When you are looking for a unique Christmas present, aren’t you really looking to communicate something special to the person receiving it? Something full of meaning to take the place of the many words you would have to speak to express all that you feel? Artisan jewelry is unique and a wonderful choice for just these occasions. Most people looking at Artisan jewelry realize that the distinctiveness of the designs, the connection to the artisan, the uniqueness of the materials all contribute to making it a very special Holiday gift. Here’s what is particularly distinctive about a Tikanchay artisan necklace. Since it is crafted in Peru, the materials are all native to Peru and many of them have symbolic significance, such as the spondylus shell that represents the peace accord between Peru and Ecuador. This certainly is a time in our country’s history when peace is a highly revered concept and many women would value that connection. The crafting of the silver jewelry is undertaken by artisans who are practicing a tradition that may be thousands of years old, passed from parent to child through the generations. Purchasing from Tikanchay is a way to support these artisans as they struggle to support their families and stay in their native provinces, making a good living and keeping their traditions alive. This concept of conscientious consumerism is another reason why a gift fashioned by a Peruvian artisan would be valued by a particular type of woman. These are the stories behind the designs and they are what make each Tikanchay selection a treasure that is uncommon and valuable. Choose an artisan necklace to complement the special person in your life, to remind them that they are celebrated by you and to connect with them with a lasting memento that is sure to be appreciated.
