What is Kawsay??

"Kawsay" is a word in quechua (a peruvian dialect ) which means "Life" and this is what I wanto to show through these jewelries.
All are made by seeds, stones, wooden pieces, shells and others products that nature gives us. All of them on wire, waxed thread or leather; creating the most wonderful and attractive collection where the mysticism and magic of the " Amazon areas of Peru get together in one necklace, bracelet, earing and ring.
Kawsay" is una palabra en quechua ( un dialecto peruano) que significa "Vida" y eso es lo que quiero mostrar a traves de mis joyas.
Todas estan hechas de semillas, piedras, madera, conchas y otros productos que la naturaleza nos da. Todos hechos en alambre, hilo encerado o cuero creando la maravillosa y atractiva collection, donde el misticismo y la magia de las aeras Amazonicas del Peru se combinan en un collar, un bracelete, unos pendientes o un anillo.
