Considered a gift from Pachamama, the goddess of fertility, good fortune, and nature, rich blue-green Peruvian opal was used by native Inca in ritual and jewelry for millennia. Today a group of artisans uses this ancient material—still revered by Quechua Indians, descendants of the Inca—to craft versatile accessories with a deep connection to the past and to Mother Earth. Each stone bears the unique marks of the earth in which it was formed and will therefore vary in color from light shades of sky blue to darker turquoise. Each is traced with a sterling silver bezel, believed in Peruvian mythology to be the tears of the moon. Handmade in Peru. Necklace is 16 1/2''L and pendant is 1''W. All measurements are approximate.
