Story Behind the Art:
Yan Fredy Bolivia says, 'My father designs and crafts jewelry, and he taught me to love the art of silver. I always loved being in his workshop with him. The old, with its infinite forms, icons and the techniques used by our ancestors these are very interesting and special, due to our country's history and what this means for us Peruvians. The new has the versatility and perfect craftsmanship of a piece of jewelry. We must always seek innovation.'
