OTHER SOUTH AMERICAN JEWELRY + OBJECTS

Apart from Peru’s rich contribution of jewelry and objets d’art, several other countries of Latin America/South America/Central America also produced splendid works during the early- to mid-20th-century. Here is a sampling from my collection of such pieces, handmade by artists in Ecuador, Guatemala, Colombia, Chile, and Brazil, among other nations.

I am always adding to the album, as I find more vintage South American works. If you would like to purchase pieces such as these—as well as other vintage collectibles—you can contact me directly at: vtgadvantage@aol.com. Or visit my online shops, TheVintageAdvantage on Ruby Lane and/or AdvantageYours on Etsy [just click on the links at the bottom of the homepage].

Wonderful collection!Great images and captions tell the story. My first glimps of Peruvian silver, great designs. The Brazillian Penca de Balangandan pin struck me as a very special piece, I'll be coveting it!
