Chakana Mosaic Silver Inlay Pendant
A Celebration of Andean Symbol and Color
This bold round pendant is a wearable mosaic of Andean culture — handcrafted in Peru using traditional inlay techniques passed down through generations. A diagonal grid of Chakana (Andean cross) motifs fills the entire disc face, each cross set within its own geometric field of vivid natural stone and shell. The result is a kaleidoscope of warm reds, deep purples, teal greens, and golden cream — earthy, striking, and entirely one-of-a-kind. Shaped from solid sterling silver 950 and finished with a polished silver back stamped 950.
