In Quechua, Yanantin refers to the concept of complementary duality. It describes the harmonious relationship between two distinct but interconnected forces, such as male and female, light and dark, or earth and sky. This concept reflects the Andean understanding that balance and unity are achieved when opposites coexist and work together.
The Yanantin earrings highlight the natural beauty of Mother of Pearl, featuring both the luminous front and textured back of the shell, emphasizing the idea of dualities. One side of the shell enhancing the other, creating a whole.
Each piece is made using sustainably sourced mother-of-pearl shells collected from the northern coast of Peru, where an ongoing conservation project is working to restore the region’s biodiversity. In partnership with a local NGO, this initiative supports the regeneration of marine ecosystems in Cabo Blanco while providing eco-conscious livelihoods to nearby communities. The mother-of-pearl is carefully selected for its natural luster and character - no two pieces are alike. Handcrafted in limited quantities, these designs honor the beauty of the ocean and the importance of protecting it.
