From our friends at Mountainside:
The Quipu necklace features a twisted braided effect inspired by ancient weaving techniques. Quipu are recording devices fashioned from strings historically used by a number of cultures in the region of Andean South America. Although the Quipus that remain are not fully understood, we do understand that many of the knots represent numerical data, perhaps for astronomy or agricultural purposes.

CARE: Most metals will naturally patina over time, however, there are measures you can take to prolong the life of your jewelry. We recommend removing all jewelry prior to showering, swimming, cleaning, or applying lotions or oils. If your jewelry begins to appear a dull or darkened, it can be gently polished with a soft jewelry cloth like Sunshine, with a non-abrasive jewelry cleaner, or a natural dish soap and a soft-bristled toothbrush. Storing in an air-tight container will prolong the life of your jewelry, and protect it from environmental tarnish.
