A pendant featuring a sequence of patterns that have their origin in the Inka civilization and the Inka calendar. Each symbol in the periphery symbolizes one of the 12 months while the concentric circles in the center symbolize the Mother Earth, or "Pachamama" in the local language.

The chain is included.

 

Materials

The pendant is handcrafted using quality 950 silver (95% pure silver) and natural pigments. The indigo, blue and turquoise colors are derived from semi-precious stones, while the white, white/yellow and orange colors are derived from sea shells.

 

Size

The diameter of the pendant is 8 cm (3.15 in). The chain is 49 cm (19.29 in) in total length, but it can be adapted to match your requirements.

950 silver contains a very high percentage of pure silver which is malleable in nature and it should to be handled with care to avoid scratches. It can be washed with cold or hot water, detergent and a soft fabric such as cotton.

    This bracelet is probably my favorite piece of jewelry.  The workmanship is very fine, and the rainbow of colors in the stones and shells are vibrant and clear.  The clasp is so beautiful that I wear it on top of my wrist to show it off.

    These earrings are gorgeous, the pictures don't do them justice enough! The colors from stones and sea shells are beautiful and bright and the design is harmonious and elegant. The silver is brighter than other jewelry I have, probably due to higher concentration in pure silver (950 silver).

    Beautiful jewelry and it was difficult to make a decision what to buy. This Pachamama (Mother Earth) set (ring and earrings) was one of my favorites. High quality silver in a charming 5 color combination with sea shells and precious stones.

What is 950 silver?

Pure silver is very soft by its nature and it cannot be easily used to craft jewelry. An alloy that consists of 92.5% of silver and 7.5% of other metals (usually copper) is most commonly used for making jewelry - this is called "sterling silver". Our artisans use "950 silver" which is an alloy consisting of 95% silver and 5% of copper or other metals and which is one of the highest silver standards used for crafting jewelry that is currently in use.
