The relevant social problem identified is the low quality of life of Cajamarcan families headed by single mothers who have not had the opportunity to pursue higher education and therefore have a low level of suitable employment and insufficient incomes. The proposed solution is the creation of Peruvian Opals, a company that seeks to provide free training and certification in the high-quality carving of the semi-precious stone, that bears the name of the company, alongside a suitable employment opportunity. To validate the hypotheses, interviews and surveys were conducted with potential users from our country and abroad, obtaining the following results: over 80% of users would be willing to buy a handmade Andean opal jewelry; the weighted average of users would be willing to pay an average price higher than $150 for an opal jewelry; over 50% of users value the main characteristics of the Andean opal as its beauty and social contribution; over 50% of users would recommend the Andean Opal online sales platform and/or the purchase of this product, and over 70% of customers would buy jewelry with the characteristics of the offered product at least once a year. In financial terms, the five-year projection generates a NPV of four million soles and an IRR of 170% thanks to the margin produced by carving, which raises the value of gems that have a cost per carat less than $1 and an average selling price of $29. Regarding the social NPV, it is estimated at 2.7 million soles, so we conclude that Peruvian Opals is a business model that, in addition to being economically viable, is sustainable as it responds to SDGs 8 and 10. Finally, with an investment of 670,000 soles and the real desire to make Peruvian opal a recognized Brand Peru product by most of the population both nationally and internationally, we estimate that we can achieve the success of this project in the next five years.
