Born in Ayacucho in 1949, Tiberio Gonzales moved to Lima as a teenager to find work. "By chance, I was offered a job cutting gemstones, and, thanks to my teacher, I learned the craft," he recalls. "I love the gems of Peru with all their beautiful colors. I worked with that teacher for five years and then decided to learn the art of jewelry. That's when I discovered the true value and beauty of stones. Each stone encloses an infinite number of colors and tones. You can see a natural landscape in each stone, when you closely observe it.
"I decided to venture out on my own and set up a workshop. I did everything myself, from creating the designs to crafting each final piece, and really enjoyed it.
“My inspiration comes from the stones themselves. When I hold a gemstone in my hands, I see what that particular stone is best suited for and how to best develop it. I combine stones with Peruvian silver; this is how each of my creations is born. I try to use these natural elements in different and unusual ways, with the authenticity of Peru inherent in my style.
"When I met my wife, Victoria, she was working for a company that manufactured women's clothing. She knits beautifully! Sometime later she decided to join me in crafting jewelry. Today she has designed many of the models we develop in our workshop. Our three children – Frank, Ali and Liz – also inherited our love for this art and today they're part of our team and help in many ways. From the time Ali was a boy, he'd watch me work for hours. Now he crafts designs of his own and helps the family with sales."

Teh unusual suspension of the stone within the chain works well. This is a beautiful and unusual piece and it is an eyecatcher for others. Not too large a stone but large enough to make a statement. I am not much of a color blue wearer but that is all going to change now because of this piece. It is gorgeous and unusual.

I was a bit worried these would be too busy. However, when they arrived I was so excited. They are beautiful with clean lines. They are not overpowering at all......just right. Craftmanship is wonderful and the pink of the stone is delicate and lovely.

I looked at this piece for a long time before buying it because of the cost. The workmanship is great. I do wish it were a bit larger, but it is a stand-out piece just the same. I could have never bought it if it were more expensive. It matches others Chrysocolla pieces I've bought perfectly.

The stones are lovely and the silver work done well. The hooks are long, but I like to add a "stopper" on them to keep my earrings safe. These hooks are delicate and I have to be careful not to bend the hooks.

I always feel energized by jewelry with circles and circular 'angles'. This pretty Lapis lazuli dangle give me that energy. They are different, light weight, but have a good length to them. Great everyday type earring. Excellent creation, Tiberio Gonzales, and thank you!
