Description: This set of reproduction pre-Columbian pierced earrings and matching stick pin is pre-owned but in good condition showing no wear. It was hand-crafted in Colombia by a well known company described below. BACKGROUND ON THE BRAND The Cano Family is known for their faithful reproduction of original pre- Columbian jewelry. Their love for the cultural heritage & delicate craftsmanship by pre-Columbian cultures began in the 19th Century when a family member discovered important archaeological sites. The family has been able to rediscover and reproduce the art and tradition that captures aspects of the lives and beliefs of proud pre-Columbian civilizations in Colombia, Costa Rico and Mexico. The Cano Family has transformed their pre- Columbian symbols into small works of art for women to wear. Each piece is made by Colombian craftsmen using the same ancestral techniques of lost wax, using Tumbaga, an ancient alloy and giving five layers of a 24k gold and three patinas. This process gives each piece a unique and deep gold color. Over the last thirty years, I have bought many pieces from Galeria Cano in Unicentro in Bogota, Colombia and in Trump Tower in New York. I offer this in the hope that you too will appreciate this artistry.
