Chakana necklace in black serpentine & white alabaster

This handmade necklace from Peru bears the Chakana – the Andean cross – one of the most well-known symbols of the Andean tradition. The Chakana is associated with the Andean worldview and has been present in art, architecture and crafts for a long time.

The pendant is made of black serpentine and white alabaster, two natural stones that together create a clear contrast and highlight the Chakanan's characteristic shape.

Each necklace is handmade in Peru. Since natural stone is a living material, color, texture, and grain vary between different pieces, making each necklace unique.

A beautiful piece of jewelry for those who appreciate Andean culture, traditional crafts and natural materials.
