Description

This timeless beauty is one of our most popular designs! Its elegant, lacy look is created by burning, carving, and chiseling a dried gourd. Each ornament is exclusively and lovingly handcrafted for Lucuma Designs by fair trade gourd artists, Pablo, Ana, and their small team in Peru. Exact size, shape, accent color and details may vary as nature and artist intended. Price is for one.

From the awe-inspiring ruins of Machu Picchu, the splendor of the jewels of Sipan, to the enigmatic Nazca lines, contemporary Peruvian artists have an immensely rich cultural heritage from which to draw inspiration. For thousands of years Peruvians have been perfecting the art of weaving, carving, knitting, pottery, and jewelry making, and their contemporary crafts reflect their talents. Lucuma Designs is proud to help preserve craft techniques that have stood the test of time, and that have been passed down from generation to generation.

“Since I was little, I had a passion for exploring the colorful and vibrant craft markets of Peru where there was always something new to discover. For over 20 years now, I have been honored to work side by side with top Peruvian artists co-creating handmade collections that honor their traditions. It feels good to give something back to my country and share its beauty with the world.” Alessandra Bravo, Co-Founder.
