Chakana Flower Mandala Silver Inlay Pendant
The Sacred Cross in Full Bloom, Crafted by Hand
This stunning Chakana flower mandala pendant is a wearable work of art — handcrafted in Peru using traditional inlay techniques passed down through generations. The sacred Chakana cross rises from a white mother of pearl field at the center, surrounded by a swirling border of curved petal sections in a full spectrum of natural stone and shell — like a flower blooming outward from an ancient symbol. A chrysocolla dot marks the very heart of the cross. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, shaped from solid sterling silver 950 and filled with vivid, earthy color.
