• Material: Rhodochrosite + Sterling silver
• Size: 7
• Handmade with love in Peru.
• As with all handcrafted goods, there are slight variations making each piece a work of art and truly one of a kind.

Allpa's jewelry is made using sterling silver, adorning it with semiprecious Peruvian stones and also amethyst stones. Part of their jewelry is made with silver and electroplated with 24KT gold. Peru has a very ancient tradition of silver and goldsmiths dating from precolumbian times.

All their collections are entirely hand made and involve long hours dedicated to making jewelery of the highest quality by Peruvian artisans who work under fair trade conditions.

Allpa has a philosophy: to transform artisans into entrepreneurs. Their home textiles are hand woven in traditional looms by weavers who have kept their traditions from ancient generations.

Most of their artisans start at a small workshop, and they grow with Allpa, as they support them with technical assistance, financial and management support, designs, innovation. It is touching to see how Allpa's artisans can now produce important orders for clients, complying with international standards and certifications, as well as all the high-quality standards required by them.

Allpa focus not only on trends, colors and shapes, but also sustainable materials and traditional techniques that can assure permanent jobs for Allpa's workshops: natural fibers, wood, clay, silver, and copper are used with a contemporary twist in Allpa's treasures.

Be Careful Of Light And Heat

Just as the sun’s harmful rays can damage our skin, light and heat can affect a colored gemstone’s durability and color. Over time, and in excess, they can also fade or damage some gemstones, such as amethyst, kunzite, topaz and shell cameos.

Beware Of Chemicals

Exposure to chemicals can damage or discolor precious metals – gold, silver and platinum – and may harm some colored gems. Even everyday substances like hairspray, lotion, perfume or other cosmetics can contain chemicals that will permanently damage the surface of your jewelry.

Fine jewelry should be removed before diving into a chlorinated swimming pool or before using household cleaners. Many of these cleaners contain ammonia, which can be too harsh for delicate gems or vintage jewelry. Chlorine bleach, another common household solvent, can pit or damage gold alloys.

The Safest Cleaning Methods Are Usually The Simplest

Most colored gems can be cleaned with warm water, mild dish soap (no detergents) and a soft brush. A pulsed-water dental cleaning appliance and a soft, lint-free cloth can also be used.

Be sure to rinse your jewelry in a glass of water to remove cleaning solutions, since you risk losing loose stones – or even an entire piece of jewelry - if you rinse directly in the sink.

Safely Store Your Jewelry

Proper jewelry storage is often overlooked. Jewelry should never be tossed into a drawer or on top of a dresser − that’s asking for scratches and damaged gems.

Most jewelry pieces are sold in a box or pouch, which is a perfect place to keep them. Sterling silver, for example, should be kept in an anti-tarnish bag or cloth. Jewelry boxes with individually padded slots for rings and posts for hanging necklaces and bracelets are also ideal.
