Welcome.
 Here is a Rainbow Earring and Pendant set in the image of the Cocoa Leaf, created by the family run business of Urin Huanca*. The Cocoa Leaf was a central aspect of the ancient Inca culture for millennia. It possesses healing powers and provides spiritual sustenance. These properties gave the leaf its high status with the Inca. This status maintains its high reverence with the Incas modern descendants.
 There are 7 different gemstones/shells used to create this set. All are from Peru, from its Pacific shore to its high inland mountains. Fourteen individual pieces are in the pendant, plus a small roundlet of Lapis on the bale (and earrings too!), PLUS seven roundlets on the back, one each of the seven stones used. The earrings have ten pieces of inlay each. Every piece was skillfully cut and inlaid by hand. The silver is of the highest purity of .950 Sterling.

More Information:
 *Urin Huanca is THE preeminent family owned jewelry business in South America, reaching back to the 1930's. With only a dozen or so employees, access to their works of art can be limited. This family of craftsmen create wonders which come from the culture of their Incan ancestors and now they have taken their place as contemporary Masters. There are many who attempt to copy their work, but Urin Huanca supplies the finest in both the silver and quality and skill of the the perfect inlay pieces.
 Each of the pieces are from the natural wonders of Peru on the land and on their shores. The craftsmen take the time to individually pick each of the precious stones and shells to be used. Each piece is very carefully and delicately cut and laid. Fine silver filaments are inserted between pieces in a perfect preciseness only generational hands are capable of. The designs were originally created by the Inca. Now their descendants recreate this with their own contemporary touch. And, in addition to all of this, they insist on using the highest grade .950 pure silver, also from Peru. These pieces are expertly created by a small team of artisans who value and treasure their ancestors gifts of creation from the ancient past.
 This Peruvian jewelry is not for the tourist trade, but rather for the discriminating buyer looking for true and authentic magnificence in their acquisitions.
