Gold of Peru
The Quechua people, one of the oldest and most significant ethnic groups in South America, lived in the Andes and were deeply connected to nature and spiritual practices. Gold for the Quechua was more than just a valuable metal; it symbolized divine power and their spiritual connection to nature. They believed gold to be the "sweat of the Sun," used to create jewelry symbolizing status and spiritual bonds with the gods. The golden spheres in their jewelry represented harmony, infinity, and the balance between the human world and the spiritual realm. These earrings are miniature replicas of a bracelet. When the jagged edges are brought together, they form a complete whole, symbolizing unity, harmony, and the strength found in togetherness.
