The jewelry designs that came from the Mazahua artisans in the Teluca area of Mexico, were deeply influenced by the arrival of the 1500's Spanish conquest who brought with them many designs that were greatly influenced from the 'Moors" and to this day, these designs have proved to be timeless, not only in Teluca,but in Oaxaca & throughout Mexico. And with that said, this particular design has been around for centuries & is one of the most traditional Mexican earrings still being made & thank God for artists like Frida & Federico who popularized this style earring throughout the USA..

There are many great things about these Mazahuas that I love.. For 1, not only do they give you this fantastic authentic Mexican look, which pair well with any Mexican wardrobe, but they are extremely wearable in size without going over the top & tend to say more, with less! Plus, they are super SEXY on & you can actually wear them with any evening attire! They are neither too big, nor too small & give you that 'just right' look! They also make a perfect Wedding/Anniversary/Valentines Earring since they have love & romance written all over them & are very feminine in style!!

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. Playing a role in the items color, is the fact that each monitor varies and can make something appear to look more vibrant or less vibrant,depending on your monitor. If you need more photos, in different areas of lighting, please let me know! ****

To give you close up photos,pictures tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified 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 (see photos) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements above.
