About this lot
Origin: Peru
Metal: .925 sterling silver base with 18K gold accents
Dimensions: Approx. 1.75 x 2.25 & 2 x 2 in.
Weight: Approx. 0.81 ozt. (Total)

Additional Information: This pair of vintage Peruvian artisan-crafted brooches/pendants is fashioned from .925 sterling silver with 18K yellow gold overlay accents, each featuring a raised standing llama surrounded by traditional Andean geometric motifs. Produced during the mid-to-late 20th century, these convertible pieces reflect the distinctive mixed-metal craftsmanship for which Peruvian jewelry is well known. The oxidized and hammered sterling silver provides a striking contrast to the polished 18K gold llama, while the geometric border draws inspiration from traditional Inca and Andean design elements. Each piece functions as both a brooch and pendant, allowing for versatile wear, and both are stamped “925” and “18K” on the reverse, confirming their sterling silver and gold content. These attractive artisan pieces remain highly collectible examples of vintage Peruvian jewelry and folk art design.
