Sinu-Inspired Sun Earrings - Medium Size

€85.00

These luminous earrings are inspired by solar pendants from the ancient Zenú (or Sinú) culture of northern Colombia, which flourished between 200 and 1600 CE. With their bold concentric design and central open circle, they echo the ancestral motifs found in pre-Hispanic goldwork — symbols of light, rhythm, and sacred power.

Each pair is meticulously cast in Colombia using the lost-wax technique, then finished by hand with a soft satin patina. Lightweight and eye-catching, these earrings bring ancestral symbolism into a contemporary silhouette — both elegant and full of meaning.

  • 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.

  • These earrings are inspired by the rich goldsmithing traditions of the Zenú (or Sinú) culture, which flourished in northern Colombia between 200 and 1600 CE. Skilled in the lost-wax casting technique, the Zenú created ceremonial jewellery with bold geometries and intricate openwork — forms believed to reflect status, cosmology, and spiritual balance.

    The design seen here echoes stylised solar discs common in pre-Hispanic art. Its concentric rings of open circles radiating from a hollow centre suggest the movement of celestial bodies, the rhythm of cycles, and the pulse of sacred time.

    Although these ancient cultures left no written texts, their worldview endures through symbolic artefacts and the living wisdom of present-day Indigenous communities, where shamans continue to honour the ancestral connection between light, balance, and transformation.

  • 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.
