About this item

"Working in filigree, Alfredo Inga tells a story of yin and yang. First mentioned in the fourth century B.C., they embody the two complementary forces, or principles, that make up all aspects and phenomena of life. Yin is earth, female, passive and absorbing, while yang is heaven, male, light and active. The symbols cover a wide silver ring with an oxidized finish.

5.0 ★ (13)

Alfredo Inga was born on July 18, 1960, in Catacaos in northern Peru, considered the "City of Filigree." At the age of eleven, he began to learn the art with friends who taught him little by little.

"I enjoyed it because a jeweler's work is a delicate art, and I was able to create beautiful pieces for women," the artist recalls. "My inspiration comes from nature, especially from flowers. First I design a piece, then I carefully craft it."

After winning a prize for his jewelry, Sr. Inga was awarded a scholarship to study with a professor from Israel.

"I really enjoyed the course because I learned new and different techniques. I was one of the best students, and they offered me the chance to teach the art of filigree in Israel. But I love Peru too much to leave. I decided to stay here, near my family, and carry on the craft."

Alfredo Inga has intricately and painstakingly created these fully articulated skeleton dangles. I love their jaunty hats ! They weigh nothing at all and all the tiny components sparkle every time I move.. I love them.

These have quickly turned into one of my favorite pairs of earrings. Unlike many delicate-looking pieces, these are extremely well made and can hold up to even my long hair and carelessness. I absolutely love this gentleman's work! I look forward to buying more pieces from his collection.

I've bought several pairs of earring from this artist and they are all wonderful. These are gorgeous and can dress up an outfit. They look just as good as the day I got them, and they aren't too heavy (but also not super light).
