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 Peru from 925 sterling silver and tiger's eye, this beaded bracelet has a length of 7.3 inches with a 4mm width. It has a high-polish finish and secures with a lobster claw clasp. Please note that the color and variegation of the stone will vary.
