The city is also known for its folk healers, pre-Columbian artifacts, and its popular bodegas or wineries.
Peru is also home to featured jewelry designer Tiberio Gonzales.
The epitome of classic design is delicate form and
eye-catching yet subtle color.
Gonzales’ streamlined sterling silver jewelry creations of pendant necklaces, dangle earrings, and cocktail rings highlight smooth, cabochon opaque gemstones such as rose quartz, mahogany obsidian and lapis lazuli.

His elegant accents of silver tendrils and hammered textures
provide a touch of regality in a design style that hits all the right notes.
Born in Ayacucho, Peru Gonzales relocated to Lima during his
teen years to find work. At that time,
he was offered a gemstone cutter job. It
was here the jewelry artist fell in love with the “gems of Peru,” and also
learned the craft of jewelry making.
“I love gemstones and all their beautiful colors. Each stone encloses an infinite number of
colors and tones. If you observe each
stone closely, you can see a natural landscape,” says the 65-year-old father of
three.
Drawing inspiration from his stunning collection of
gemstones Gonzales would later start his own workshop where his wife, Victoria,
and their three children would eventually join him in developing his lovely
creations.

“When I hold a gemstone in my hands I see what that
particular stone is best suited for and how to best develop it.
My creations are born from combining Peruvian silver and gemstones. I try to use these materials in different and unusual ways making sure the authenticity of Peru is inherent in my style.”

For Gonzales dusky blues, pastel pinks, and rich blacks are a few of the tone cues for this style trend.
