Peruvian Silver Teardrop Set

Unique Hand-made Peruvian silver Teardrop set made of silver 950, inlaid with Red Spondylus in the centre. Beautifully crafted using rustic methods, including intricate filigree arrangements like a twisted and braided wire.
 
Spondylus limbatus, a red-purple or yellow-orange species, occurs in Baja
California Sur to the Tumbes region in the north of Peru. They are often at least 30 meters below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. Spondylus shells were more valuable than gold or silver for many Pre-Columbian cultures and a symbol of abundance and land fertility.
