Inti Sun Face Silver Inlay Pendant
The Face of the Sun God, Worn Close to the Heart
This bold round pendant depicts Inti, the Andean sun deity — handcrafted in Peru using traditional inlay techniques passed down through generations. Alternating rays of warm red spiny oyster shell and luminous white mother of pearl radiate outward from a central face of iridescent abalone shell, its features marked by small chrysocolla beads for the eyes and mouth. Red spiny oyster shell stripes cross the face and accent the bail, grounding the design in vivid, earthy warmth. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, shaped from solid sterling silver 950.
