Tikanchay designs feature native Peruvian materials accented with sterling silver. Exotic Huayruro seeds from the Amazon, real butterfly wings in an array of colors, and natural stones and shells from Peru's gorgeous landscape are just a few of the things that set Tikanchay jewelry apart. The artisans we work with are extremely talented, and use their creativity to combine ancient techniques with modern style. We also feel a strong sense of commitment to the people of Peru, and continuously seek ways to promote these remarkable traditions and crafts. We support fair trade values, and believe that by expanding the artisans' marketplace to include sales in the United States, we can provide high quality jewelry to our customers while bringing artisans one step closer to self sufficiency.
