Bringing all the serenity and timeless charm of Oaxaca jewelry to a much wider audience, it’s proud Oaxaca artisans like Federico who have made that possible. Over the years, Oaxaca jewelry has gained greater recognition not only for its captivating beauty, but also for the careful workmanship, traditional skills, and time-consuming techniques that go into each and every handmade piece. These artisans preserve cultural heritage while continuing to inspire collectors and admirers around the world.

These are sexy, very authentic Oaxacan earrings that are totally hand-fabricated from start to finish. There are many intricate steps to create earrings like these, from forming the repousse floral-detailed tops to shaping the precise circular forms. If you zoom in, you’ll notice an alternating finish: one area receives a textured “diamond cut” treatment while the next area is left smooth for contrast. Below the little detailed paloma love birds, sits the tiniest lacy filigree wire nestled within the hoop. The scalloped filigree wire is carefully wrapped along the perimeter and also serves as the anchor for the round Spiny Oyster shell cabochons, giving them a secure, elegant place to sit. The oyster shell helps to give them the look of Santa Fe that we love!!

Perfect earring to wear with all your embroidered and woven Mexican textile clothing — versatile earrings that complements traditional patterns and contemporary looks alike. You can pair them with just about any color and watch the details come to life against your outfit. Not only are they an outstanding everyday accessory, they also make a meaningful wedding earring or anniversary gift to celebrate and show your love!

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:

*****I find orange is one of the toughest colors to photograph to achieve an accurate-true coloring, since I don't want them to be too vibrant or any less vibrant! Photographing anything with 'yellow' in it, (orange's and green's) can come up a little more vivid, so please take this into consideration. Please be aware that each monitor varies and also plays a role in how vibrant or less vibrant as something appears. If you need more photos, in different areas of lighting, please let me know! *****

In order to give you close up photos so I can provide you with all the detail, can tend to make the item look HUGE & everything is more magnified & exaggerated than in actuality. 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.
