This piece is a perfect example of her dedication to her craft and her mission to balance elegance with cultural heritage, honoring her Inca roots while creating art for a global audience.
Born in Cuzco in 1981, Bertha Vera Huamán discovered silversmithing through a family member’s workshop, where she began as an assistant. Determined to master the art, she pursued specialized courses and gradually fell in love with silver and gemstone jewelry. Overcoming challenges in a competitive field, Bertha has built her career with the unwavering support of her family, who often work alongside her. Inspired by the landscapes, flora, and fauna of her dreams, she translates these visions into intricate designs that balance elegance with cultural heritage. In 2019, she was honored with the Cuzco Arts Award, a recognition of her dedication and artistry. For Bertha, jewelry is both creative expression and cultural preservation, a way to honor her Inca heritage while envisioning a global future for her craft.
