This design features glass seed beads in deep teal, lapis, sapphire, turquoise, black, and metallic gold arranged in a traditional stepped cross pattern. Finished with hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant 14k gold fill leverback earring hooks.
The Chakana, also known as the Andean Cross, is a sacred symbol of Indigenous Andean civilizations that predates the Incan Empire. It represents the balance between three interconnected realms of existence: the higher realm of spirit, the middle realm of humanity, and the lower realm of the ancestors. It is a symbol of the resilience and land stewardship of the Quechua, Aymara, Kichwa, and many other Andean Indigenous nations.
