Artisan Earrings for Holiday Gifts

Silver Earrings that Catch the Light

A swirling variety of colors and designs animate the marketplaces in the villages, towns and cities of Peru. These same elements enliven the handmade earrings in our collection of Peruvian jewelry. We travel the countryside seeking out the finest in traditional crafts so that you have a wide variety of silver earrings to choose from. Tikanchay's handcrafted silver earring collection features symbolic stones like sodalite and opal, and native materials like huayruro seed, carved gourd and Amazonian butterfly wings to match many different wardrobes and tastes.

A wonderful characteristic of Peruvian earrings is that each design has its own personality, offering you an easy and inexpensive way to express yourself and a wonderful choice if you are looking for a unique jewelry gift. Our flirty Huayruro clusters may be the perfect accessory on Monday while Tuesday calls for no less than the Square Silver Beaded Earrings, an elegant example of finely handcrafted jewelry.

Sometimes a pair of earrings is more than just an accessory, like the Pair of Doves and Birds in Flight Gourd earrings of our mate (MA-TAY) collection. These unusual designs are created by carving and burnishing pieces of dried gourd, which are then set in sterling silver. A purchase of handcrafted earrings from the Mate collection makes a statement that you are supporting the small artisan community that has truly mastered this centuries-old Peruvian jewelry making technique. Imagine how beautiful you will feel inside and out while wearing them.
