The ñandu signet / Anillo ñandu

$160.00

This handcrafted signet ring is made from high-quality sterling silver, featuring a specialized oxidized finish. This darkening process creates a deep contrast, allowing the hand-etched Nandú symbol to stand out with striking clarity and an “antique” character that feels like a piece of living history.

The Meaning of the Nandú (The Choique)

In Mapuche culture, the Nandú—or Choique—is one of the most sacred and beloved animals. It is a symbol of humility, community, and the bridge between the earth and the heavens.

  • The Sacred Dance: The Choique Purrun is one of the most important Mapuche ceremonial dances. By mimicking the movements of the Nandú, the community connects with the rhythm of nature, asking for fertility, rain, and balance.

  • The Celestial Footprint: Mapuche elders look to the stars and see the “Pünon Choique” (the footprint of the Rhea) in the constellation of the Southern Cross. To wear the Nandú is to wear a symbol that is written in the very stars above.

  • Resilience and Protection: As a flightless bird that thrives in the vast plains, the Nandú represents endurance, protection of the family, and a deep, grounded connection to the ancestral land.

Product Care – Fine Silver (999) Jewellery

Fine silver (999) is a precious, soft metal that naturally develops a patina over time. To keep your jewellery looking its best:

• Avoid exposure to perfumes, lotions, and household chemicals, which can cause tarnish.

• Remove jewellery before swimming, showering, or exercising to prevent contact with moisture or sweat.

• Clean gently with a soft, lint-free cloth or a silver polishing cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh cleaners.

• Store safely in an airtight pouch or box to minimize air exposure and scratches.

• Restore shine by buffing lightly or using a mild silver dip (only when needed).

Each piece will naturally age with wear, developing a unique, soft luster — part of its lasting charm.

Return and Exchange:

we normally don’t accept return with jewellery for hygienic reasons how ever if the product is faulty or other concerns, we are happy to look for a solution together
