Details
Our silvery face of the sacred sun pendant pays homage to Inti, the Incan god of the sun. Wise eyes and an open mouth are set with turquoise stone and rays emanating from the center are inset with spondylus shell, mother of pearl and other semi-precious stones. Intricate silver roping encircles the piece, making it stand-out lovely when worn on a black ground such as a wool coat or around the neck on a silver chain. Hand crafted in Peru.

Product Origin:
Edwin Herrera, Cusco Peru
Edwin Herrera Salinas, lives in Cusco, Peru with his wife Nilda, and daughter, Camila. Carrying on in the family tradition, Edwin was schooled on styles and techniques of jewelry making by his parents. Over the last ten years, Edwin became enthralled with the pre-Incan Moche Lambayeque cultures of Northern Coastal Peru and captures some of their legends and symbols in his jewelry. Originally interested in painting, Edwin dabbled in the techniques and the beautifully transparent palette of water colors which have carried over into his work as a jewelry maker.
