Two small serpents rest at the back of your neck. This is an open collar of hand-hammered brass, light against the throat. Where it comes to its two ends, the metal is shaped into the heads of Quru - the smaller serpents of the Chavín tradition, the carriers of the current that moves through stone, water, breath, and body. The Quru are placed where they are for a reason. The nape is where the spine begins, the body's own axis, the column along which energy travels. The two serpents meet you there. Their current enters the line of the spine and runs its length, quiet and continuous. And they face outward. Two heads, two watching eyes, turned toward all that is behind you: the side you cannot see, the ground already walked. The Quru keep that watch, so your own gaze can rest forward. Worn alone, the collar is complete. Worn with a pendant of the collection, it becomes the thread that carries it, the one piece that holds the others.A note for clarity: the Quru Choker is offered on its own - the open brass collar with two Quru heads. It does not include a pendant. The pendants of the collection are offered separately, each arriving with its own handmade brass chain, on their own pages.
