Huayruro Seed Necklace Stands Out in South American Fashion Trend

Each season, we see more and more fashion influences from around the world here in America. The world seems to be growing smaller, and places like Peru don’t seem as distant and unreachable as they may have to generations before us. As more Americans travel the globe, they are bringing back a sense of international style. In the last year, there has been an increasing interest in the “tribal chic” trend, which started with African-inspired prints, and branched out to include those from India and South America. These lively prints represent the rich cultures they are inspired by, and they are making a splash in the fashion world. One of the biggest trends inspired by South American fashion is in handcrafted jewelry, where large statement pieces are becoming very popular. Stacked bracelets, handcrafted necklaces made from native South American materials, and big earrings have shown up on runways and in stores across America. The most interesting pieces are created by master artisans using native materials, like Tikanchay’s huayruro seed necklace made by artisans in Peru.
