Product Description
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. "The Imperial Eyes of Machu Picchu are contemporary treasures of art to wear," says Roberto de Villacis, who entrusted his design to Novica artist Carlos Gonzalez to craft. "This collection is a testament to the timeless elegance of one of the most mysterious cultures of the ancient world," says de Villacis, who signs this piece. "Hammered and crafted by hand, the collection in sterling silver includes chrysocolla, for the Inca favored beautiful gems." .925 rating silver Artisan Info: "Hi, I'm Carlos Enrique Gonzalez Elera and I was born in Lima on August 19, 1953. My father was my guide in the world of art. He was a jeweler and worked at his craft day and night. I was curious about it but didn't really give it much attention. As an adult, I'd go to the mountains to trade scales for grams of gold. And this is how I became enthused about jewelry. One day, I stayed watching my father and he suggested I pay close attention to what he was doing. In this way, I began to learn each detail of every piece. I never attended workshops or courses, as my father was my teacher, although he never gave me a formal class. I learned myself by observing, and never let a single detail get past me. "These days I get up at night and sit quietly, letting new ideas come to mind, one after the other.
