Detailed description

Necklace "Quimbaya"

The splendour of Central America: Pre-Columbian gold jewellery. The works of the Quimbaya living in the southern Cauca region were masterful. They are considered the most significant goldsmiths of Indian America. Here, gold was considered to be the image of the sun. The semicircular elements were originally nose jewellery; later, they were combined with small suns and ceramic particles to form a necklace.

Necklace "Quimbaya": The original of this necklace can be found in the Gold Museum in Bogotá/Colombia; the replicas are produced in specially authorised workshops (there with recourse) to traditional techniques. 24-carat gold-plated metal, adjustable length 40-44 cm.
