Fall Culture Silver

The Tumi is part of my cultural identity, symbolizing health, protection, and Peru’s rich heritage. These earrings are beautifully made.

This is an absolutely stunning medallion. I love the weight and size of it. The craftsmanship and details are spot on! The necklace that comes with, is actually close to a choker for my neck size and is perfect!

I have a pretty substantial collection of folk art, and at the time that I purchased these, I had only four items in my collection which arguably depicted people. I tend to much prefer animals, plants, and geometric forms. However I really like Quipac's earrings and his page is one I check almost every month to see if he has new work. When I saw these, these struck me not so much as people as representations of a culture and a costume displayed in a beautiful geometric pattern. They were also on sale at the time! I got them, and have them displayed on a jewelry tree I also got from Novica, where they are accompanied by bats from Indonesia and some other work by the same artist depicting a leaf and a flower.
