gemstone crosses

Symbolizing the union of the spiritual and mortal worlds, the chakana cross originates from several pre-Hispanic cultures, including the Inca. Paola Siza of Peru pays homage to the chakana, handcrafting it with intricate sterling silver filigree in this pendant necklace. The cross is set with a round stone of natural sodalite in the center, evoking the blue skies above the Andes.
