Like a leaf floating in the wind, the pendant of this necklace is crafted of metal with a sterling silver plating. The leaf shape dangles beneath an abstract ring and a stone of tiger's eye, centreing a length of cable chain. Milagro Johanson of Peru designs this accessory.

Small beads of sterling silver hang alongside 12 carats of clear quartz, each bead embraced by floral petals. This Peruvian pendant necklace is crafted by Marianela Vargas, who takes great pride in the realization of her own designs. She hangs the pendant from long black cotton cords that tie at the desired length for a beautiful, contemporary look.

An admirable hand painted pendant in copper and black tones hangs from nylon cord in this necklace designed by Peru's Dina. Artisan crafted, the ring-shaped ceramic pendant has a design reminiscent of the geometric motifs found on Incan textiles and pottery. A finishing touch is provided by the copper and black striped bead at the top of the necklace.

With the style of her designs, artisan Dina wishes to give a fitting expression to the legacy of the Incas of her native Peru. She presents an artisan crafted ceramic pendant necklace hand painted in beautiful jewel tones. Fuchsia, green, and purple combine with the gold and black tones of the pendant which features geometric shapes recalling Inca iconography; a symbol of the sun, the heavenly body at the core of the Inca's religious beliefs, sits at the centre of the doughnut-shaped pendant which is topped with a bead painted in similar hues.

Elegant for nighttime or anytime, this necklace makes a beautiful impression. Sandra and Lily in Peru design the long pendant necklace, which is crafted from 24k gold plated sterling silver and beads of polished obsidian.
