from €45.00

Sold Out

This pendant draws inspiration from ancient Colombian goldwork, echoing the solar and spiral motifs found in diverse pre-Hispanic cultures such as the Zenú, Tayrona and Quimbaya. Its radiant scrollwork design suggests movement, energy, and the cyclical rhythms of life — themes central to the spiritual worldview of these ancestral societies.

Handcrafted in Colombia using the lost-wax casting technique and finished with a soft satin patina, the piece offers a luminous tribute to sacred forms rooted in nature and ritual.

Available on its own, on a black waxed cotton cord, or with a matte gold-toned chain in various lengths for a more refined look. Shown here on a 45 cm chain, resting just above the chest.

Each gold-toned component in the Galeria Eldorado collection is crafted using the lost-wax casting technique (cire perdue), echoing methods once mastered by ancient Colombian goldsmiths.
In Bogotá, local artisans sculpt or mould each design in wax. The wax models are encased in a heat-resistant material, then kiln-fired to melt the wax and create a hollow form. Molten copper is poured into this cavity to produce the final piece.
After casting, the metal is carefully cleaned and polished, coated with a layer of silver, and plated with two layers of 24k gold.
A final satin matte finish softly diffuses the light, giving the metal a warm, timeworn glow — evocative of ancient ceremonial jewellery.
This meticulous, hands-on process ensures the uniqueness and authenticity of every piece.
This pendant draws from the rich goldwork traditions of pre-Hispanic Colombia, where cultures such as the Zenú, Tayrona and Quimbaya flourished for centuries before the Spanish conquest. These societies left behind no written texts, but their worldviews were expressed through symbolic forms inspired by nature, cycles, and the invisible forces that shape life.
Today, many interpretations are informed by the ongoing traditions of Colombia’s Indigenous peoples — notably the Kogi and Arhuaco — whose shamans still act as guardians of cosmic balance and ancestral memory.
The spiral motifs and radiant structure of this pendant may evoke the movement of the sun, the breath of the earth, or the energetic flow between worlds. Their geometry speaks of rhythm, vitality, and the continuity of life — echoing the sacred, luminous presence of pre-Hispanic solar forms.
Galeria Eldorado features jewellery inspired by the goldwork of ancient Colombian civilizations such as the Muisca, Quimbaya, Tairona, Zenú, Calima and Tolima.
These cultures flourished across present-day Colombia from around 1500 BCE until the early 16th century, leaving behind a remarkable legacy of ornaments in tumbaga — an alloy of gold, copper, and sometimes silver.
Today, these artefacts are preserved in major museums, including the Museo del Oro (Bogotá), the Museum of Ethnology (Berlin), the Museo de las Américas (Madrid), the MET (New York), the British Museum (London) and the Musée du Quai Branly (Paris).
Galeria Eldorado revives these ancestral forms through contemporary craftsmanship.
Each piece is handcrafted in small series, using traditional techniques and natural materials. The golden elements are cast and finished in Bogotá, continuing the lineage of Colombia’s ancestral goldsmithing heritage.
Bracelets, earrings, and necklaces featuring natural stones are often one-of-a-kind, selected and assembled individually to ensure the uniqueness of each piece.
To preserve the satin matte finish of the gold-plated components, avoid contact with water, perfumes, or cosmetics.
This soft surface is designed to absorb and gently diffuse light, echoing the patina of ancient ceremonial objects.
Clean gently with a soft dry cloth and store in a separate pouch to avoid scratches.
With proper care, your piece will retain its warm, understated glow for years to come.
