Delicate piece of Mapuche silver jewelry, completely made and polished by hand in 925 silver. The process begins with silver shot or silver grain. First, they melt it by hand, exposing it to high temperatures until they obtain a sheet. From that laminate (just as their ancestors did with copper) they cut and design each part of this piece. The design includes a pot adorned with copihues (the national flower of Chile)which represents nature and abundance.
