Handcrafted Silver Jewelry is Powerfully Metaphysical

Peruvian artisans utilize many semi-precious stones in their handcrafted silver jewelry, and these bear a significance that goes deeper than their outer beauty. The serene blue-green swirls of chrysocola, also known as Peruvian turquoise, are said to have healing powers. Serpentine, too, is known in Peruvian tradition to promote healing and also luck. It is said to promote the hopes and dreams of those who bear it. This Tikanchay Peruvian blue opal bracelet is made with beautiful opals that are known for promoting relaxation. The distinctive designs in the Tikanchay artisan jewelry collections with semi-precious stones and silver are notorious not just for their striking appearance, but for the significance attached to the native materials. Choosing these designs always involves hearing from the artisan the “story behind the jewelry.” Peru’s culture is steeped in the curiously mystical and this is not lost on the artisans whose imaginations infuse the designs of our silver earrings, necklaces and bracelets.
