A PERSONAL WORD:

When Federico came to the USA from his birthplace of Oaxaca in the 1960's,it wasn't till the 1970's however, that he got a 'calling' to show his phenomenal collection at the LA flea Market, where he brought with him the intricately made-romantic Oaxaca jewelry that is a "signature style' to his birthplace so it could be presented to a much wider audience.. He also brought with him all his vintage Native jewelry that he had been collecting for decades. At that time, CHER happened to be one of his 1st major customers which was at the time when Cher was flaunting some of the best Native pieces during the 70's... As Federico's popularity grew, so did his "Elite" celebrity base, who to this day,are still thirsty for anything that bares his name. Oaxaca jewelry is finally being appreciated as a historical art form, with much of the credit going to him & of course the popularity of Frida Kahlo..

THE EARRINGS:

Oozing all the beauty of Oaxaca, but adding a dash of Santa Fe in there, the theme of love & beauty are taken over the edge with these fantastic looking (And sexy!) earrings!

Impeccably & completely made by skilled artisan hands, these highly romantic earrings are designed where hearts, love birds & flowers play a dominate role to these earrings. Made in a 3 tier design, where each tier's theme was 1st cut by hand & then one by one, the sterling is given all the tooled detailing so they have a 'realistic" look. Connected & swaying from the Palomas is a jump ring connected 1-1/2" round flower that is domed by using a repousse technique, while each petal is accentuated then by hand tooling all the fine detailing. .A little cup like flower sits in the center. The flower is highlighted by filigree wire, which then acts as an anchor to hold all the little round gem quality cuts of Sleeping Beauty turquoise to securely hang from. They maybe on the longer side, but are wearable in weight !(See weights below)

Considered the ULTIMATE wedding earring for obvious reasons, but definitely not limited to! Maybe you need that 'Something Blue" for your Santa Fe'an/Texas wedding?? They are traditional, super sexy & will look good no matter your hair length and or wardrobe! These will are definitely attention grabbers!

** If you like your earrings a little longer/larger than these,I do have them in all sterling (2 lengths) green turquoise & orange Spiny Oyster shell!!
