Tairona Necklace & Earrings
In ancient America, gold was rarely used for trade. It was looked upon as a sacred element, symbolic of Treat power and a close alliance with the sun god. It was used as a tribute payment and also as offerings to the gods. Gold ornaments were buried with important individuals. This custom accounts for most of the Pre-Colombian pieces found in museums today since the majority of Pre-Colombian gold objects were melted down by the Spaniards.
In the spirit of Pre-Colombian gold, this exquisite handmade collection of 24 carat plated jewelry brings the look and feel of this ancient time.
All pieces in The Colombian Collection are hand-cast in brass, plated in silver, then 24 karat gold using the lost wax process.
