Pair of authentic Peruvian artisan dangle earrings. Purchased in Peru these beautiful pieces are hand-crafted from premium 950 Solid Silver—a higher purity standard than traditional 925 sterling silver (containing 95% pure silver!). The circular drop pendants feature an intricately hand-engraved Inca Calendar / Andean Cosmovision design. At the center sits the sacred Chakana (Inca Cross), surrounded by a radiating wheel of symbolic geometric glyphs representing celestial cycles and ancient protector spirits. Because they are crafted from rich 950 silver, they have a gorgeous, bright, high-quality luster with a beautifully preserved natural vintage patina that adds deep relief and contrast to the artwork. Perfect for collectors of unique ethnic, bohemian, or historical statement jewelry!
