The Tradition of Silver Jewelry Artisans in Peru

My husband was born in Peru and since we married, I have frequently traveled home with him. Through our travels; I have seen the wonders of Peru, and experienced the culture first hand. I remember the first time I watched an artisan skillfully construct a piece of silver jewelry from native stones and silver….I was an awe. Artisans have long been a ancient tradition in Peruvian culture and it’s impossible to travel to Peru without seeing the results of this rich tradition everyone you go. It was an important part of my experience in Peru to bring home to my family and friends small tokens that represent the richness of the culture. The traditional process in Peru has not been corrupted and I am so proud to now have a silver jewelry collection at tikanchay.com that is based on the traditional craft and that showcases the native materials of Peru
