The above photo is the earliest known piece of gold jewelry that was discovered in Peru. The necklace, made nearly 4,000 years ago was found in a burial site near Lake Titcaca. It is assumed that a society needed to be settled to produce agricultural surpluses that can support activities such as making ornamental objects. Some experts feel it is a symbol of commitment. The stones are Turquoise with natural gold bars that had been carved and strung. We thought our business was old turning 99 years next November!!!!!!!!
