Description

A 925 Sterling Silver Peruvian Tumi Pendant is a handcrafted piece of jewelry representing an ancient Incan/Moche ceremonial knife, symbolizing protection, luck and power.

It typically features a stylized deity (often Inti, the Sun God) with a semi-circular blade, sometimes inlaid with turquoise, malachite, or shell, highlighting Peru’s rich cultural heritage.

Crafted from high-quality 925 sterling silver, with some pieces appearing in 950 silver, often exhibiting fine, detailed metalwork.

In modern Peruvian culture, the Tumi is believed to ward off negative energy and is a popular gift for those seeking a “lucky charm” for their home or person.

Common pendant sizes range from subtle pieces around 10x30mm (0.38 x 1.18 inches) to larger statement pieces reaching 35x13mm.
