Pre-Columbian, Northern Peru, Moche, ca. 100 to 800 CE. A stunning blend of ancient and modern influences, this matching necklace and earrings are of a contemporary .925 sterling silver design set with Mochica striated spondyllus shells of beautiful pink hues tinged with hints of pale green, white, and creamy beige. The necklace is comprised of thirteen elegant, lozenge-shaped silver beads - six set with the striated spondylus shells alternating with seven silver beads that mimic the ridges of the spondylus shell - all spaced via petite rounded silver beads. The remaining chain is comprised of seventeen silver rounded beads alternating with nine silver cylindrical beads. Suspended from the modern clasp are three spondylus shell disk shaped danglers. Complementing this necklace is a pair of clip earrings of a similar contemporary silver design set with Moche striated spondylus shells. Each piece also features the Muzeion Gallery signature dangler. A breathtaking ensemble of wearable art that bridges the ancient Moche culture with our time. Size: lozenge beads measure approximately 1.75" L x .75" W at widest point (4.4 cm x 1.9 cm)
