Handmade Necklace in Silver 950 Chakana and Andean Trilogy Cusco - Adjustable

Adjustable Peruvian necklace meticulously crafted in 950 sterling silver. This unique piece beautifully displays the Andean trilogy and the Inca chakana, both deeply symbolic elements of Andean culture.

At the heart of this necklace is the Inca chakana, also known as the Chakana cross, which symbolizes the sacred connection between heaven and earth. The four arms of the Chakana represent the cardinal points, the four elements of earth, water, air and fire, as well as the four seasons, making it a powerful emblem of harmony with nature and the cosmos. The Chakana is also associated with the constellation of the Southern Cross, an important feature of the southern sky.
The Chakana, the necklace presents the Andean trilogy, which symbolizes the worldview of the world through three animals: the snake, the puma and the condor. This representation, now known as the Inca trilogy, has deep historical and cultural significance and can be traced back to numerous ancient structures in Cusco.
