Our Jewelry is handcrafted using Alpaca
or Alpacca
Silver wire (a stainless steel substitute which is an alloy of
approximately 60% copper, 20% nickel, 20% zinc and 10 % tin, It
will not rust or tarnish).
The materials used include a variety of Genuine semi precious
stones such as Black and White Onyx, Lapis Lazuli, Sodalite,
Pink and Blue Andean Opal, Rose Quartz, Obsidian, Chrysocolla
Turquoise, Serpentine, Jasper, Amethyst and many other
Semi-Precious stones. Agates which are known to be the only
enhanced stones are also used, all the other stones are natural.
Each stone is hand-cut and hand-polished using rustic techniques
that give each stone its own unique character and charm.
Murano Glasses has been also added to our designs. This time,
Venetian glass-making was revived and reinterpreted in
multi-colored glasses by our Peruvian Artisans using traditional
and unrefined Glass-making techniques.
Other materials such as Bamboo tubes, dried gourd, bone, bull's
horn, old coins, and seeds collected from Peru are integrated
into the traditional designs.
Handpicked Peruvian Artisans reproduce every and each of our designs without the
utilization of any complex tools or machinery but their expertise in wire
jewelry making.
Because our jewelry is made one at a time, by an artisan or a
group of artisans, some of our designs are limited or one of a
kind. Ensure that you are not left out and start shopping. The
design you see today may not be there tomorrow.
