Handcrafted Fine Silver Peruvian Filigree Earrings, "Astral Cross"
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.

"Beautiful high quality earrings"
Ive bought several pairs of earring from this artist and they are all wonderful. These are gorgeous and can dress up an outfit. They look just as good as the day I got them, and they arent too heavy (but also not super light).
