Royal blue lapis lazuli is set in sterling silver to make a seamless, enduring ring. Lapis is native to the Peruvian Andes, where these rings are handmade by jeweler Tiberio Gonzales Flores. Simplicity of style makes this ring a versatile accessory for blue jeans or evening wear.
The elements of a successful artisan's livelihood are varied. Nature has provided Tiberio's raw materials, but he has worked with numerous American and Peruvian training partners to refine his skills. Even after those years of investment, it takes a market to translate the resulting skills into a stable living. Worldstock exists at this intersection of business and development.
From a small studio with ten artisans, this line of jewelry has allowed Tiberio to double his core business and contract with an additional 24 family enterprises. Including new apprentice stone-cutters and silversmiths, 80 families now share the income from these sales.
