Representing the Southern Cross, chakanas take shape in lacy silver filigree. Alfredo Inga creates earrings with an ancient Andean symbol. The chakana is taken from a constellation of stars forming a quadratic square, and represents the universe connected to the center of the world, believed to be Cuzco. It symbolizes order in family and community life.

"Lightweight and Jingly"
Got these to match an antique seed/rice pearl necklace. They are light and thin. The gold plate seems thinner than on my other plated earrings. They are very lightweight.
