Lindsay and Edu met in 2010 in the Andean city of Ayacucho, Peru while Lindsay was living there and interning at a microcredit organization. While she knew that moving to another country would be the journey of a lifetime, she never could have predicted falling in love. However, shortly after arriving, she met an intriguing jeweler with a passion for travel just like her. A wood-worker by trade, Edu had always been artistic and took up jewelry making in 2006 as a way to pay for his university degree in veterinary medicine. Like many artisans in Peru, he sold his jewelry in the streets until he was able to get a small store in the artisan market of Ayacucho. Today, Lindsay and Edu offer you their art: handmade jewelry made from recycled copper, alpaca wire (German silver), and bronze with semi-precious stones, seeds and other natural materials.
