Oaxaca Filigree Artisan -CARLOS GUTIERREZ -Traditional Oaxaca -Hand Sewn Lapis / Pearl Huge " EL EME" Wide Filigree Sterling Earrings

$1,500.00

These are HUGE & are some of the biggest “El Eme’s” I’ve come across! They are very "Over the Top" & are all about statement!! It’s not so much their length, as much as it is for their 2-3/4” width that give these their incredible statement!


The El Eme design is signature to Oaxaca & are 1 of 5 designs signature to there. The El Eme is known for it’s “M” design on the drop. Taking almost a week to complete,these are not something that can be hurried, especially when they're made with such precision. The filigree is made with the finest wire possible & with each circular pattern wrapped with his skilled hands,the pattern never breaks form.The filigree surrounds the base,that is built from the ground up.Carlos placed sterling wire that is "Diamond Cut" & outlines the "Lapis & Pearl M",so it gives sparkle as they hit the light.


The top portion is the bigger than most single earrings & has a base that is all built by hand & has little cup like formations that the Lapis sits in & is sewn through.. Another thing you’ll find common in this artist's jewelry, is the fact that he doesn't skimp on the dangles! Carlos made sure that they are nice & full,with an "over the top" abundance! 


"Bride's-to Be",are known to where these,since by having the addition of pearls, signifies Prosperity & Fertility.These are as perfect to wear with any Mexican style clothing,as they will with designer!

** Not sure how this happened, but if you zoom in on the 10th photo, one of the tiny sterling beads are missing on the top portion from one of the Lapis beads. This would not be obvious unless it’s pointed out. **

They are a heavier earring(weights below) & you can wear these without feeling the weight by getting a product I carry called"LOBE WONDERS",which takes the weight off the ear & places the weight of the earring on the adhesive tape they are made of. .Please look in the 'Other'-Concho Belts Plus More Category

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
To give you close up photos,pictures tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified and exaggerated than in actuality. To get an accurate idea of how big these are, you can zoom in on the photos showing them on the ear or if you have one, you can pull out a tape measure or ruler & compare to my given measurements.
