This is a Peacock Pendant and Earring Set created by the family run business of Urin Huanca*. These Peacocks are fashioned from the native birds local to Lima, Peru. Seven different gemstones & shell are used. All materials are from Peru, from its Pacific shore to its high inland mountains. Thirteen individual pieces are in each piece, including a small roundlet of Sugalite on the top. The sections have been created through hand cutting of the shell, with the finest slivers of Sterling Silver thread set between each. The silver is of the highest purity of .950 Sterling.
