*************************
THE EARRINGS
These incredible designed 'wearable art' earrings are made under the direction of Federico by the hands of one of his on staff master inlay artisans, whose work is beyond impressive to me & never seems to fail at doing some of the most impeccable & precise workmanship when it comes to this type of art!

They are made with blue,blue Sleeping Beauty turquoise & made with 2 art forms that take skill & know how.. One being lapidary (Stone cutting) & the other being mosaic inlay work. As you can see,both are done beautifully & precisely. The wings & drop were cut down from a larger rock of the turquoise & then each have deep chiseling that accentuates their wing pattern & then are beautifully beveled, which give each sectional part of the wing their graceful lines & smooth appearance. The abdomen,eyes & the antennas are designed in a Zuni Pueblo style of inlay, where they are channel mosaic inlaid with Sleeping Beauty turquoise,red Spiny Oyster shell & black Onyx. This technique is truly time consuming, when you figure that each piece has to be cut perfectly to fit side by side as they lay in their mosaic inlaid form.

The oval-ish drop is made from the same rock & also have been hand chiseled.. This drop is actually what is used on the neckline of the larger 5 panel butterfly necklace I have in stock (see last 2 photos) & that's why these will go perfectly with the 5 panel Butterfly,as they will with the necklace shown in photos 4 & 11 ! Either necklace would work!(You can find them under “Necklaces”.

I am literally thrilled with this artistically created design & I feel confident that you're going to hear nothing but those 'ooh's & aahs' when you wear these! They are true pieces of ART!
