This is my third piece from Epuwe. I absolutely love all of them. They are beautifully made and always stands out. I wear it proudly to represent my Chilean roots and to honor my ancestors. I will definitely be buying more pieces in the future.

The ear rings are beautiful. I am sure my sister will be happy with them when I give them to her, we are adopted from Chile, Mapuche both of us, so this is special for us!
