Chakana Spiral Circle Silver Inlay Pendant

Circles Within Circles, Crafted in Stone

This mesmerizing round pendant draws the eye inward through a series of concentric circles — handcrafted in Peru using traditional inlay techniques passed down through generations. A luminous white mother of pearl disc forms the background, ringed by a stepped Chakana-toothed border filled with alternating sections of purple and red spiny oyster shell, orange spiny oyster, gold mother of pearl, sodalite, and chrysocolla. At the center, an orange spiny oyster circle is lined with red spiny oyster shell on the inside, then purple spiny oyster, with a small chrysocolla circle at the very core surrounded by sodalite. The bail is accented with chrysocolla to complete the piece. Each pendant is one-of-a-kind, shaped from solid sterling silver 950.
