These 'New Balance' dangle earrings by Independent Artisans are an artistic and classic accessory. Designed by Teodoro Melendez and Family, these sterling silver earrings feature natural agate stones with an "attractive red tone" that are believed to attract "balance and harmony to your life." The oxidized finish gives them a rustic look. This piece carries the essence of Peru's ancient cultures, combining history with artistry.
Born in 1924 in Trujillo, Peru’s “city of eternal spring,” this master jeweler has spent a lifetime preserving the beauty of pre-Hispanic art through silver and gemstones. Inspired by his father, an archaeologist and museum curator, he grew fascinated with ancient motifs and began crafting jewelry as a young man, guided by the writings of Julio C. Tello. What began as a hobby became a lifelong vocation, marked by the patient study of Andean silversmithing traditions. His work, rooted in hammering, stamping, and chiseling, replicates ancestral designs while ensuring they can be shared internationally without infringing on national patrimony. Exhibited in Lima’s museums and galleries, his pieces carry the essence of Peru’s ancient cultures, combining history with artistry. Each jewel represents not only beauty, but a lifetime dedicated to transmitting Peru’s cultural heritage to future generations.
Handcrafted in 925 sterling silver with natural agate, these hook earrings have an oxidized finish and measure 1.7 inches in length by 0.2 inches in width.
