Handcrafted Ceramic Bead and Sun Pendant Necklace from Peru, "The Sun God"
Central to the beliefs of the Incas was the concept of the sun as a god, often represented as a circle with a human face and rays. Peruvian artisan Dina is inspired by this image as she designs the hand painted ceramic sun which hangs from this beaded pendant necklace. Handmade ceramic beads in a variety of earth tones along with green glass beads are strung together to form the necklace which closes securely with a high polish sterling silver fold-over clasp.

"Fun!"





I have purchased these items in Peru in the past... I use them as pulls on light fixtures or ceiling fans. I bought these to use as pulls as well. Theyre so pretty and festive. And they serve a wonderful purpose! Theyre also very cute to wear as a casual necklace!!
