Grace: Now that the holiday season is coming up, I’m sure many people are looking for beautiful and special pieces of jewelry to give as gifts.  I, personally, love silver jewelry because it goes with anything, unlike gold jewelry.  However, it tends to be a little boring sometimes and it’s difficult to find a piece that is unique and beautiful.

There is this great site, though, that sells silver handcrafted Peruvian jewelry, and I think any of their pieces would make the perfect holiday gift.  Not only are they made of 950 sterling silver, which is of better quality than the 925 sterling silver in the United States, but every piece is handcrafted and unique.  There aren’t hundreds of the same handcrafted necklace, so you’ll be sure to get a completely unique piece.

I actually happen to own this beautiful, Peruvian turquoise necklace, and I absolutely love it!  It’s simple, which means it can be worn with practically anything and for any occassion, but it also has a unique twist to it, which is the handcrafted detailing.  This necklace is the perfect gift for someone who can appreciate all the hard work that goes into handcrafting jewelry.

Dan: Even though I am not a fashionista, I must admit that the necklace you own is quite impressive.  It is more beautiful than anything I have seen in the grandiose department stores in a long time.  You are completely right when referring to their distinctive and non-repetitive pieces.  It seems like everywhere you go to find jewelry for yourself or as a gift here in the United States everything looks the same.  From a guy’s perspective, this aspect of the jewelry industry, creates a lot of friction when trying to buy a gift for someone.  The distinctiveness of their work really eases this tension.
