“Welcome, I am a Mapuche silversmith artist, creating handmade silver jewellery that celebrate the meaning and history of my culture. Each piece is inspired by traditional Mapuche design and their powerful symbols. Through my work, I share stories of identity, strength and connection, bringing our living culture to the world.”

The meaning behind Mapuche Silver Jewellery
For the Mapuche people, silver holds deep spiritual meaning. It is more than adornment, it is a symbol of protection, identity, and connection to the natural and spiritual worlds.
Each piece carries stories from our ancestors, with designs inspired by nature and the Cosmo. Traditional jewellery like the trapelacucha, a silver breastplate worn by woman, was believed to protect and bring positive energy through its sound and shine.
By creating and sharing these pieces, we honor our culture and keep its spirit alive, sharing the beauty and wisdom of Mapuche traditions with the world.
