Handcrafted in 925 sterling silver, these Mapuche cross earrings pay homage to the Greca Cross (Ngümin), a symbol found mainly on the Lonco blanket that represents power and wisdom. Their clean, geometric shape makes them an elegant everyday choice, equally at home with a crisp white shirt or a soft alpaca sweater.
They come from Ulcha Küyen, the Chilean artisan silversmith workshop founded by Mapuche goldsmith Marcelina Huentecura in Carahue, Araucanía, where every piece is made entirely by hand using ancestral Mapuche techniques. The 925 sterling silver gives them a bright, luminous finish.
In Mapuche tradition, geometric motifs like this cross are woven into textiles, and the Lonco blanket is associated with the lonko, the community leader. Wearing the Greca Cross is a quiet way to carry that heritage with you.
Store in a soft pouch, remove before swimming or applying perfume, and polish the silver gently with a soft cloth.
