A striking Peruvian Tumi pendant depicting Inti, the Inca Sun God, crafted in rich 950 silver—higher purity than standard sterling.
The Tumi, a ceremonial knife and symbol of protection and prosperity, gives this piece both meaning and presence.
Finely hand-worked, the pendant is inlaid with vibrant stones including carnelian, lapis lazuli, malachite, amethyst, and mother-of-pearl. Inti’s openwork headdress features detailed silver wirework with sun motifs, centred by a raw amethyst cabochon.
A carved freshwater pearl forms the iconic blade below, adding a soft contrast to the bold geometric design. The substantial bale is finished with black enamel.
A confident, statement piece—best styled with a heavier silver chain.
Chain not included.
