The Quimbaya inhabited the areas corresponding to the modern departments of Quindío, Caldas and Risaralda in Colombia, around the valley of the Cauca River. There is no clear data about when they were initially established; the current best guess is around the 1st century BCE. The name "quimbaya" has become a traditional generic term to refer to many of the productions and objects found in this geographical area, even if they do not come rigorously from the same ethnic group and come from different epochs in time. The Quimbaya are famed for their luxurious goldsmith work. They developed metallurgy systems to combine copper with gold that was not abundant in their region. This combination of gold and copper, called "tumbaga", would not detract from the attractiveness, brightness and durability of its magnificent pieces creating a spectacular vivacity.

This goldsmithing is one of the most important in America given the exquisite beauty of the pieces expressed by very well developed metallurgical methods. ------------------------------Cano Jewelry is a well-known and high valued Colombian jewelry house known for its unique interpretations of pre-Columbian art discovered by the Cano family in the late nineteenth century.
