Custom jewelry by Pirekua is a tribute to the artistic ingenuity of the stone age, when shells, bones, feathers, and precious stones decorated the human body and elaborate workmanship was exclusively worn by the elite. Due to the introduction of machinery, the value of artisan labor plummeted and is now grossly undervalued.
Pirekua’s custom creations practice a less transactional relationship with the purchase of art, ensuring an elite service of personalization.
