At Tikanchay, we have some favorite pieces that were in our original collection. This pendant is an updated version of our original Luna Plaza necklace. We love this sterling silver pendant on a soft suede cord. This is an example of a design that has evolved over time, with a new finding and some other slight changes that we think make it even better than before. This Sterling Silver Artisan Necklace features both burnt and polished silver, creating an intriguing contrast. The braiding is shaped by hand and burnt to give it depth, and the finding is a sturdy sterling ring. This pendant is placed on a triple suede cord, which is soft and comfortable for everyday wear. Like all of our Artisan Jewelry, it is handcrafted using .950 sterling silver. This week, blog readers receive 30% off on this necklace with the code LUNA. It expires Sunday, so take advantage of the deal now!

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.
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.
Before we know it, the holiday season will be here. Smart shoppers will start their gift search now, while they have time to pick the perfect gift. Online shopping is the great way to have a stress-free holiday. Just be sure to order from reputable sites, and take advantage of free shipping offers/early bird holiday deals. Why settle for the minimal selection of gifts in the mall when you can find countless ideas online? Our Huayruro seed collection is a great example of a very unique gift idea that you simply won’t find at your local store. These striking red and black seeds are naturally beautiful in Peruvian Necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. For centuries, Peruvians have believed that Huayruros ward off negative energy and attract good fortune and abundance. The story behind Peruvian Jewelry featuring Huayruro seeds makes it a perfect gift idea with a thoughtful meaning. This Huayruro Seed Silver Necklace is a gorgeous new design that protects the delicate seeds behind glass, showcasing these exotic good luck charms in sterling silver.
