The Bacatá Necklace is one of the most iconic pieces of Seis Herencias, a jewelry brand that reinterprets ancestral symbols through contemporary design. This necklace pays tribute to the ancient territory of Bacatá, the land where Bogotá stands today, and honors the memory of the indigenous communities who gave meaning to this sacred space.

Symbolism of Bacatá

For the Muisca people, Bacatá was more than territory—it was the center of their worldview, a place where mountain, water, path, and root converged to shape identity and belonging. The Bacatá Necklace embodies this symbolic richness, transforming it into a jewel that represents strength, heritage, and cultural memory.

Handcrafted with Purpose

Each necklace is handmade by Colombian artisans using recycled silver with 24k gold plating, ensuring both quality and sustainability. The design reflects ancestral motifs through textures and reliefs that evoke the Andean landscapes, rivers, and sacred paths of Bacatá.

At Seis Herencias, jewelry is not only about beauty, but about telling stories and preserving identity. The Bacatá Necklace carries within it the creative reinterpretation of heritage, inviting the wearer to reflect on their own roots.

A Jewel of Connection

More than an accessory, the Bacatá Necklace is a symbol of connection between the past and the present. It represents the idea of returning home, of carrying with you a fragment of Bogotá’s history before it became Bogotá. It is a piece for those who seek jewelry with meaning, spirituality, and cultural depth.

The Bacatá Collection is one of the most significant lines of Seis Herencias, inspired by a DNA study that revealed ties to this territory. Through this collection, each jewel becomes a bridge between ancestral wisdom and contemporary art.
