Tikanchay Imports LLC, well known for its handmade sterling silver jewelry reintroduced its line of handcrafted pearl jewelry on Thursday. Every piece at Tikanchay is purchased from an artisan family, and is a handmade, unique piece of art that upholds ancient traditions and in this manner it also gives back to the artisan community.
A purchase of pearl dangle earrings or any other selection from the Silver Artisan Collection is an act of support for the Peruvian artisans.
"We think the expression 'Do Good, Look Good, Feel Good' expresses beautifully the shopping experience at Tikanchay. Supporting the artisan community, knowing your money is spent in a socially conscious fashion, and wearing beautiful jewellery is a dynamic combination," said the owner Elaine Rojas.
Tikanchay often provides the materials and capital necessary for small artisan families and in particular women artisans so that they can continue these ancient traditions and make a living from the sale of their work at the same time.
