Our collection of silver artisan jewelry from Peru is still growing, and Elaine is currently in Peru on another buying trip. It is an exciting time for us, and we find new jewelry styles and artisans to work with. With new artisan necklaces, bracelets and earrings, we are also creating a new look for the website. Be sure to check back in the next few weeks to see new products and photos, like this new Gourd Necklace.

A Bold New Handcrafted Necklace

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!
