Peruvian Inca Inlaid Spiny Malachite Lapis Saguaro Cactus 950 Silver Earrings

For your consideration are these Peruvian inlaid saguaro cactus dangle earrings, handcrafted from high-purity .950 sterling silver. The "950" mark indicates a silver alloy composed of 95% pure silver, a higher purity than the more common 925 sterling silver. The Saguaro cactus design, typical of Peruvian artistry with Inca heritage motifs, is highlighted by a mosaic inlay technique using various genuine gemstones of lapis lazuli at the top stud, and red spiny oyster and green malachite in the body of the cactus. The intricate work showcases traditional craftsmanship, with fine silver filaments separating each hand-cut and laid piece of stone.

The pair has a combined weight of approximately 5.6 grams. They are push back stud earrings and the cactus is a dangle suspended from the lapis stud. Each earring measures 1.15”L x .56”W x .11”D.

This style of jewelry is inspired by Inca traditions and crafted by skilled artisans in regions like Cusco, Peru, making each pair unique.
