Federico Jimenez -Oaxaca Artisan Made -Thunderbird-Spiny Oyster - Traditional Mexican-Santa Fe Style Arracada Dangle Earrings- 3.25"- 28 Grams
These earrings display nothing less than the fabulous jewelry that comes out of Federico’s homeland of Oaxaca, while pairing their traditional look with an undeniable southwestern vibe.
Entirely hand made by the hands of one of Federico’s top & highly skilled Oaxaca artisans, these flawlessly designed earrings are made with ‘Mirror Facing” thunderbirds that show their exquisite detailing throughout (see all photos) & act as an anchor for the hand cut arracada crescent shape bottom. They are accented with 5 mm round cuts of orangey red Spiny Oyster .
While you can wear these with any thunderbird and or Spiny Oyster shell jewelry, they will also complete any traditional Mexican clothing wardrobe!! Either way would look hot!
Because the Thunderbirds are hand made to face each other, these are meant to be worn where the beak faces your face.

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
*****I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try my hardest to give you photos that are 'realistic" in color as much as I can. Please understand that each monitor varies and also plays a role in how vibrant or less vibrant as something appears.
In order to give you close up photos so I can provide you with all the detail,can tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified & exaggerated than in actuality. Close up photos can make the item look so large & then you get them in hand & they look much smaller than how they looked 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 (photo 2 & 7) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements.
