I've combed the Artisan Markets in Lima searching for unique designs in Peruvian jewelry and have discovered a wonderful artisan. Her pieces are inventive and irresistable. I've picked up earrings, pendants and bold silver bracelets, many set with stones and shells. All this handcrafted jewelry is .950 silver, a higher quality than the usual .925 sterling.

The Inca considered silver to be the tears of the moon, the moon being one of their favorite gods. I think they'd be impressed by these pieces. You know how particular I am about craftsmanship; it's got to be the best, and this Peruvian jewelry is.
