No matter the amount, jewelry is one of the token items that you can never have too much of. The key to giving jewelry is variety. Instead of once again giving yet another ordinary gold necklace, handcrafted jewelry is the best way to spice things up. This shows more thought than simply picking something up at the local department store. Handcrafted jewelry has a story behind it and is not just spit out of a machine. Each piece is unique and can be personally designed for each person who wears it. One of my favorite pieces to give is the multistrand Huayruro seed bracelet. The vivid red emitted by the seeds is perfectly balanced against black strands and sterling silver accents. The handcrafted bracelet is made entirely in Peru, based off of traditions and skills that have passed on in Peru through generations. The Huayruro seed is known by natives to bring good fortune and ward off negativity. Before you give the gift be sure to include a note of the rich culture of Peru and the meaning behind the bracelet. The symbolism behind the bracelet can be easily related to anyone’s life. If you are looking for something additional to give, a matching set of handcrafted earrings or a necklace is the perfect companion.
