THE EARRINGS:

These “Palomas y Flores” (Doves and Flowers) earrings are widely regarded as the quintessential Oaxaca—and, more broadly, Mexican—wedding earrings, and for good reason. More than beautiful adornments, they carry layers of cultural, spiritual, and ceremonial meaning.

In Oaxaca, the dove is a revered symbol of peace, love, devotion, and spiritual renewal, with meanings shaped over generations by Indigenous traditions, including those associated with the Aztec world, as well as later Catholic and colonial-era influences.

Worn by brides and at other significant life celebrations, Palomas y Flores embody far more than ornament. The doves speak to the spirit; the flowers evoke beauty, fertility, and the flourishing of life. Together, these enduring symbols transform the earrings into meaningful talismans of love, heritage, and continuity.

Entirely hand-fabricated from sterling silver, these earrings showcase extraordinary attention to detail, from the finely textured feathering of each dove to the precisely wrapped filigree wire tracing the crescent form.. Vivid orange Spiny Oyster shell chunky size dangles capture the color, artistry, and unmistakable elegant charm of Santa Fe. The result is a beautifully intricate pair that celebrates exceptional workmanship, traditional technique, and the distinctive spirit of the Southwest.

These are a ‘mirrored” style earring where there’s an actual left/right side & they are meant to be worn with the dove’s beak facing toward the face. They have love & romance written all over them and would not only be great for brides & weddings, but if you’re looking to give a gift of Love, these then, would be a perfect choice and especially for one who loves a little color!

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
I am not a professional photographer, but I do try to do my best at giving you accuracy in color. In order to give you close up photos so I can provide you with all the detail, photos can tend to make the item look GIGANTIC & everything is more magnified than in actuality. So things that appear as something ‘major’ in the design, usually has to be pointed out in person. This is because of the close up photos. Please zoom in on the photos to see how they look on the ear, or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements to get an accurate idea of how big these are.
