One thing that these aren’t, are your 'average, standard, everyday filigree earrings ,but probably one of the better filigree earrings you'll find. With these, there are perfectly formed circular patterns, within patterns of precise curved filigree wiring that only one whose skilled in this technique, can do.

To do precise & perfect filigree at the level these are made, a artist has to be at a "Master" level, since years & years of continually doing it over & over only help you to achieve mastering pristine filigree work, at this level. There are many steps to the process & it's not only pulling the wire thinner than when the wire was bought, but what looks like 'twisted wire', is actually done by using a serration technique, which lends itself to the look..

The garlands of little pearls are hand sewn & the larger size pearls in the crescent sit in their own little 'cup' & are also hand sewn down.

Two pearls are used for each of the dangles & are wire wrapped to the bottom of the earrings.

They are super feminine & very 'Colonial' in appearance, while having a very vintage look.. They are perfect for any Folk Art event, as well as having the versatility to be worn when out for a elegant evening event!!

****Remember, with filigree it isn't the weight of the sterling, or the materials your paying for,but the time..****

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:

*****I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try to give you photos that are 'realistic in color.. Please understand that all screen monitors are different, so the materials can look brighter (or duller) ,more intense or less intense from one computer/phone to the next.

In order to give you close up photos so I can provide you with all the detail, the photos can tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified & exaggerated than in actuality. When you get them in hand, you do not notice as much, as what looks more extreme in the photos. So to get an accurate idea of how big these are, please either check them out being worn to get a rough idea (photos) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements.
