Beautiful and Meaningful

I bought this for my mom before my father passed. She wore it to the funeral and it brought her some peace. It really is lovely, and she admired the beautiful silverwork. It matched her dress perfectly at the service. Some necklaces are more than just jewelry. This one is peace itself.

Beautiful necklace

Product picture

The necklace is just beautiful! The pendant can accommodate up to a 6 mm chain. A round globe of lapis lazuli dangles inside a beautifully textured ring. From the bottom of that large ring dangles a small ring. The necklace is fun to touch because all three components, the large ring, the small ring, and the lapis Leslie globe move freely. The necklace is beautifully well-made! I’m so glad I purchased it!

Peruvian Necklaces

Peruvian civilizations date back to the 13th century Inca Empire. Even then the importance of jewelry, such as necklaces, was prominent throughout society. The Inca people were known for having vast amounts of silver and gold. These metals were crafted into precious necklaces, bracelets, and ear ornaments. The desire for Peruvian jewels made the Inca Empire a target for conquest. When Francisco Pizarro invaded the Inca Empire it was said that he asked for a room filled entirely with silver and gold. Since the disappearance of the Inca Empire, the practice of making necklaces, bracelets, and other pieces of jewelry has been passed down through the generations. The crafting of gorgeous Peruvian jewelry has triumphed even when the empire from which it started fell. The artisans of NOVICA have kept the tradition going and now they bring spectacular hand crafted Peruvian Necklaces to you! These gorgeous necklaces would match perfectly with a piece of Peruvian silver 950 jewelry.
