Inca jewelry

Peruvian silver jewelry is known worldwide for both its quality design and finish as well as the excellence of the material used. The pieces shown in the catalogue are original handmade works with exclusive designs.

Peruvian jewelry combined with a wide variety of semiprecious stones (Peruvian turquoise, Andean opal, pink quartz, onyx , etc.), Huayruro seeds, glass fusion, seashells and finest Peruvian silver.

All of these items have been used by former Peruvian cultures for magical and religious purposes, thought hundreds of years.

 

 

 

The name “Huayruro” derives from the seed of Huayruro plant that grows in the Amazon rainforest. The seed is characterized by being part red and part black, visually suggesting complementary and duality.

Perhaps due to this unusual natural characteristic there has been the belief among Incas that these seeds have the dual power to attract good fortune and ward of evil spirits.
