Artisan Crafted Chrysocolla Button Earrings from Peru 'Divine Green' These 'Divine Green' button earrings by Sonia Cachi Yupanqui are a magnificent tribute to her Peruvian heritage and artistry. Crafted from sterling silver, the earrings feature intricate rope patterns and gleaming petals that wreathe two stunning blue-green gems of natural chrysocolla, often referred to as 'Peruvian turquoise.' The combination finish adds a rich texture and depth to the design. These earrings are a divine expression of the artisan's passion for design and the enduring spirit of Cuzco’s artistic legacy.
Sonia Cachi Yupanqui, born in 1968 in the imperial city of Cuzco, grew up surrounded by the artistry of silverwork. Her father, a master jeweler, introduced her to the rhythms of the workshop where hammers and chisels shaped both metal and imagination. With patience and dedication, she learned her craft under his guidance, transforming inherited knowledge into her own artistic voice. After an early career setback, Sonia founded her eponymous brand alongside her husband, building their workshop from scratch and selling at local fairs. Inspired by the culture and history of her homeland, she creates designs that fuse tradition with innovation, offering jewelry that becomes part of the wearer’s personality. Today, she continues to mentor youth in her community, ensuring that jewelry remains both a livelihood and an expression of heritage. Each piece reflects her passion for design and the enduring spirit of Cuzco’s artistic legacy.
These handcrafted post earrings are made with chrysocolla and 950 silver. They measure 0.6 inches in length, 0.6 inches in width, and 0.2 inches in depth.
