A Handcrafted Necklace for a Friend

We all have certain friends who are always there to lend a hand, offer a suggestion or listen to our problems. At Christmas, it’s nice to show how much you appreciate these special people – but choosing a thoughtful gift can be difficult and time consuming. When you want to give a meaningful gift, a handcrafted necklace is a perfect choice. Not only will the recipient be impressed by the thought of a handmade gift, but you can be sure no one else will think of the same exact thing to give her. This butterfly wing pendant is made with sterling silver and real butterfly wings found in the Amazon. The ultimate in unique style and thoughtfulness, your gift will also support artisans in Peru.

I’ll never forget the time I first realized the difference between handcrafted jewelry and the lower quality fashion jewelry I was used to buying and receiving. I was given a handcrafted necklace as a gift from a close friend, and I fell in love with the idea of unique, handmade jewelry created by artisans. I will always treasure that jewelry gift, knowing it was not only made by hand, but also chosen specifically for me. It matches my style in a way other jewelry simply could not. I love how each handcrafted necklace, bracelet and pair of earrings tells the story of the artisan that made them. Their creativity and impressive skills make each piece an artistic statement. This intricate handmade necklace is made with pieces of stones and shells that fit together perfectly like a puzzle, and are inlaid in shining sterling silver.

There are many things you should consider when choosing a jewelry gift. First, you should think about the recipients’ personal style, and what kind of piece would accent it. Next, you often consider price, as that is an important aspect of gift buying for many people. Luckily, at Tikanchay we’ve separated our jewelry into style sections and gifts listed by price range. So take the hassle out of gift buying this holiday season, where we have already done the thinking for you. Choose a piece like this Lariat Necklace, an attractive and versatile jewelry gift that can be worn many ways to enhance the look of any outfit.

I think the best gift you can give someone is one that also helps someone else. What a nice idea – to make a loved one feel special while supporting a great cause. That is one of the reasons I love our Tikanchay jewelry collection. Our customers can find unique gifts for the special women in their lives, knowing they are supporting artisans in a developing country. The Peruvian artisans we work with are appreciative of our continued support, and they take pride in each piece of handcrafted jewelry they create. Each handcrafted necklace, bracelet, and pair of earrings brings our artisans one step closer to self-sufficiency. It’s a win-win situation all around, and we think that is a beautiful thing. As we have come to say as our motto, Tikanchay is jewelry with a beautiful story to tell. I recently gave a friend the Amazon Butterfly Silver Necklace as a birthday gift, and she was so touched knowing this unique gift also supported a great cause.
