Our Jewelry

Our jewelry is made with 950 silver, which means its composition is 95% silver and 5% copper.

Our traditional jewelry is made with decorative gemstones like turquoise, chrysocolla, serpentine, onyx, sodalite, rose quartz and lapis lazuli as well as shells like spondylus, mother of pearl and abalone.

Our Fibers

Alpaca Wool

Most our knit sweaters and accessories are made from the softest 100% baby alpaca.

The baby alpaca guarantees the softest and best fibers and comes from the 1^st shearing. The next two sheerings, still guarantee top quality Alpaca fiber, but cannot be called Baby Alpaca. The native alpaca lives in the Peruvian Andes at up to 4,500 meters above sea level. The winters are very cold, which is the perfectly suited climate for them to develop their signature thick and smooth coats, which yields the prized wool that is skillfully transformed into our garments and accessories.

Pima Cotton

The Incas not only worked with alpaca wool but also cultivated and wove Pima cotton, with a long history even before the Pima Indians. Cotton had been cultivated in Peru and parts of South America, for centuries, if not whole millennia. Archaeologists in Peru have found Pima cotton fragments dating as far back as 3100 B.C.

Peru is Pima cotton’s ideal setting, with nearly perfect temperatures all year round and a rich coastal soil that has just the right amount of moisture for these cotton plants to thrive. And this fortunate confluence of conditions found in Peru, result in a beautiful, silky luster and soft texture fiber.
