Green Valley Chakana

Symbolizing the union of the spiritual and mortal worlds, the chakana cross originates from several pre-Hispanic cultures, including the Inca. Nancy Quispe of Peru pays homage to the chakana, handcrafting it with intricate sterling silver filigree in this pendant necklace. The cross is set with a round cabochon of natural chrysocolla in the center, evoking the green valleys of the Andes.
