Description : The Chakana is the paramount symbol of the Andean culture, the Chakana or Incan Cross, represents the Southern Cross constellation, their center of the universe, depicting with its 3 step design the 3 worlds, Janan Pacha (world of the gods), Kay Pacha (the earth, the here and now) and the Ukju Pacha (the underworld). The mate finish of the Chakana is created by the hand of a skilled artisan that manually with a scraper creates a crisscrossing pattern borrowed from the Chimu culture (circa 900AD), technique that surpasses the finest sanding, both in terms of smoothness of surface and beauty of grain. Contemporary styles merge with this ancient symbol of power to create a versatile collection rendered in sterling silver and mother of pearl accents.
