Classic Styles

In Peru traditions are still honored from generation to generation and artisans are trained to make handcrafted jewelry at their parents' knees. Many of the techniques that have been passed on are apparent in these classic designs.

At the same time, these torch carriers are innovating: constructing layers of polished silver over burnt silver, dangling pearls and silver from cords and chokers. The Classic Styles collection represents the marriage of yesterday and today, of parent and child in the most real sense. Have you been looking for a wonderful gift idea for a special woman in your life, or wishing for a special treat for yourself? Look no further than this elegant collection of classically designed handcrafted jewelry.

The Vicuna live in herds in the highlands of the Andes, 4,000 meters above sea level. They were sacred to the Incas and are venerated still today in Peru.

Why choose jewelry that is handcrafted? Whatever materials our artisans choose to create their pieces with you can be sure they've chosen with a discerning eye, using only the brightest Huayruro seed, the most polished shell, the clearest pearl. Our artisans take great pride in each piece of jewelry, striving to do justice to the generations of craftsmen before them. Finally, know that each piece of Tikanchay handcrafted jewelry is made with the highest quality 950 sterling silver.
