Hand-Woven Straw Earrings

One of the many interesting art forms in Peru is straw weaving. The women in the villages create hand-woven treasures like baskets, but they also make tiny woven earrings and bracelets. It is amazing that they can weave this delicate natural material so tightly that they can create design different handcrafted jewelry designs. They also use different colored straw to make the designs interesting. When finished off with sterling silver caps and placed on french wires, the organic art to the left becomes a fascinating pair of handcrafted earrings. People who appreciate a green lifestyle especially love our straw jewelry collection, making these straw earrings a great jewelry gift idea.

Sometimes I really enjoy wearing chunky jewelry as a statement piece in my wardrobe. Not only have larger jewelry designs taken the place of daintier ones on runways, but I also think that they give a modern edgy look which is a great compliment to a trendy outfit. Of course, I will always love classic pendants and pearl earrings, but with certain outfits I think larger cuffs and other jewelry pieces look very stylish. This sterling silver cuff is made with burnt silver and beads, giving it depth and intrigue. Pair it with a trendy top, and if you’re looking for jewelry for gift giving, this is a great choice as well. Classic sterling silver and an innovative design will make it an immediate favorite in her jewelry box!

The ancient civilization of the Incas is a fascinating piece of Peruvian history. There are still mysteries surrounding this impressive, complex society. The Inca calendar had ritual and agricultural meaning, and most historians agree it included twelve lunar months. Its circular design, inspired by the sun, makes it look more like a piece of art than a calendar. This Inca Inlaid Pendant is inspired by the intricate Inca calendar.

Although many of the stones, shells, and other materials used in Peruvian jewelry are intriguing, opals always stand out to me. This Silver Opal Bracelet contains a stunning collection of opals paired with sterling silver. The shape of this bracelet is especially interesting, and it lays beautifully on the wrist. The colors are soothing, yet the design is interesting and fun.
