Searching for the Perfect Jewelry Gift

It’s time to start thinking about the perfect gifts for family and friends this holiday. The best gifts are those that are thought of well in advance, and chosen specifically with the recipient in mind. That’s why the smartest shoppers will start their search now. If you’re looking for a Jewelry Gift, try to get an idea of her style. Does she like modern, contemporary pieces, or classic jewelry styles? Does she love the exotic, or stick to the tried and true? If you’re not sure, think about her clothing choices and career. Is she a business woman who travels to the office everyday, in suits or other formalwear? Or is she a stay at home mom who usually wears casual attire? Is she young at heart, or chic and sophisticated? The beauty of Artisan Jewelry is that there is a piece for every woman, regardless of her style.

Braided Sterling Silver Jewelry

Silver braiding is an interesting art form. An artisan must have steady hands and remarkable precision to create perfectly braided designs while working with such a complicated medium. In the workshop of a master artisan, chains are hand braided using the thinnest, most delicate strands, and settings are given a braided design with burnt silver accents. These settings are used to showcase semiprecious stones like sodalite, with a rich blue tone. The stone is said to increase communication and clarity of the mind, and it is an impressive natural material when used in Handcrafted Jewelry designs. This Braided Sterling Silver Sodalite Pendant is one of a limited quantity. It would make a perfect Jewelry Gift for the woman who loves artisan designs. And of course, every purchase of Tikanchay jewelry also supports artisans in Peru.

Stone and Shell Jewelry from Peru

The stones and shells in the Tikanchay collection all represent the beauty of South America, and of course Peru in particular. Each one is polished to perfection by a master artisan, adding to their beauty and value. The shiny black Obsidian is a form of volcanic glass formed high in the mountains of Peru, and the blue Sodalite is also found in the Andes region. Peruvian Turquoise, or Chrysocolla, is prized for its varied blue and green hues. The Spondylus shell has been used to make South American jewelry for centuries, but was once only worn by royalty. These large thorny oyster shells range in color from deep purple to rosy red and even fiery orange. Therefore, some pieces of Peruvian Spondylus jewelry can be very colorful, even if no other shells or stones are used in the design. For Spondylus jewelry, Sodalite jewelry, and many designs made with Obsidian, Chrysocolla and other Peruvian stones, take a look at the growing collection of artisan jewelry at Tikanchay. This Sodalite necklace is one of our newest designs.

Hand carved gourd makes these earrings a one of a kind treasure.

When you’re looking for a special jewelry gift, we know that you want the highest quality within your budget, as well as something unique and impressive. A unique jewelry gift can be harder to find than you may think, especially if you’re shopping in big name department stores. After a while, the styles all seem to blend together, and you may end up settling for a design that is just like thousands of others. That is why handcrafted jewelry is such a fabulous gift idea. Not only are there a limited number of handcrafted items available due to the fact that artisans can only produce so many in a certain period of time, but the designs are also creative, making them unique. At one time, you would have had to live near an artisan to see their work in their workshop or local shops, but online shopping has put these special jewelry designs at your fingertips. At Tikanchay, we love helping people find the perfect jewelry gifts for their loved ones, like these silver bird earrings.
