When you’re trying to put together a sophisticated look in a hurry, you need a few classic pieces you can depend on. Some designs truly never go out of style. We can all think of some pieces of clothing or accessories we’ve had for years that still receive compliments time after time. A perfect example of a timeless accessory is Tikanchay’s Silver and Black Cuff Bracelet. Its simple design pairs high quality silver with simple black yarn. The result is a classic cuff you can wear with any outfit. If you like to show your style with simple designs that will last through any trend or fad, choose this black cuff bracelet for your collection.

You may eat some organic foods, and use some natural beauty products, but have you ever considered wearing organic jewelry? Many pieces of jewelry are made with natural stones, but some pieces are made with more creative organic materials. Our Birds in Flight Gourd Bracelet is made with a piece of gourd – you read that right, it is actually a natural piece of gourd! The beauty in this bracelet is not only in the tiny bird design that Peruvian artisans burn into the gourd by hand, but also in the natural simplicity of using a gourd in an unexpected way. Peruvians call their gourd jewelry Mate, pronounced “Ma-tay.” We call it stunning! Tikanchay’s bird bracelet makes a unique gift for yourself or someone special!

Infinity Cuff Silver Bracelet

After much ado, I finally bought myself the new macro lens for my Nikon camera and I can tell already that I waited too long! In an attempt to show financial restraint I may have denied myself some of the best fun I’ve had in a long time. In fact, my daughter Ashley and I will now be fighting over this camera for the foreseeable future! Here are two shots that she took this weekend of our Infinity Circle Silver Cuff Bracelet. Crafted of .950 silver in the northern region of Peru by an artisan family that specializes in filigree silver work, this was one of our first Tikanchay designs and it continues to be one of our favorite silver handcrafted bracelets. The clean lines are soothing in their swirls and it is so easily adjustable, with the flexibility that sterling silver offers, it is a bracelet that fits just about any woman’s wrist.  

 

Infinity Silver Bracelet Cuff

Striped Woven Bracelet from Peru

The newest photographs just arrived from New York photographer Simon Jutras and I am so anxious to get them them up on the site to share with you.  Two of the silver jewelry pieces that I’m especially excited about are unique handcrafted bracelets that are modern and elegant designs.  One is a gorgeous black and silver cuff bracelet that is slender enough to be considered delicate and still has the punch to be considered bold.  There’s a very cool texture to this bracelet since the black in the bracelet is comprised of several rows of waxed cotton cord that are perfectly aligned side by side, along the curve of the bracelet.  You have to see it!  The other is an all silver bracelet but the interesting juxtaposition lies in the basket weave pattern of slender silver strips that are inlaid on the solid silver cuff.  Intrigued?  Stay tuned because any day now they will be up on the site and they are available in limited quantities, especially with the Christmas demand for unique jewelry gifts just around the corner.  For now, why don’t you check out the other silver bracelets that are on our site?  They feature sodalite, huayruro, opal, Peruvian turquoise and a host of other natural materials including butterfly wing from the Amazon jungle!
