Pre-Columbian Inspired Earrings: Valdivia Stone and Tolima Roller Seal Design

These earrings are inspired by a rare Valdivia stone from Ecuador, dating back to circa 3300-2000 BC. The design features an abstract figure resembling a Tolima roller seal, complete with spectacle-like eyes, offering a fascinating connection to ancient symbolism. This figure bears a striking resemblance to Cycladic idols from ancient Greece, known for their simplistic yet powerful forms.

The earrings pay tribute to the rich art traditions of the Calima/Tumaco La Tolita culture, blending the stylized motifs of Pre-Columbian art with a modern aesthetic. The charm’s clean lines and symmetrical design capture the essence of ancient spirituality and the universal human connection to the divine.

Each pair is decorated with your choice of beads—black onyx, red carnelian, or blue lapis—adding vibrant color and cultural depth to the design. Whether worn for their historical significance or as a bold statement piece, these earrings bring ancient artistry into the contemporary world with style and meaning.
