Federico Jimenez OVER THE TOP El Jardin Oaxaca 925 Coral Filigree Earrings 5-1/2"
Federico is known for taking jewelry to 'larger than life' sizes & these have to be at the top of the list!These have to be one of the biggest earrings you may own,but ones that will surely get some attention.(Not to mention,conversation starters,heads turning,people bowing at your feet!) They will take that special type of bold,statement jewelry wearer,where weight doesn't matter as much as getting the look that makes her, who she is..
These are called the "El Jardin" earring, that is one of the more popular styles known to Oaxaca,Mexico & Federico took these to the next level,by making them super sized, massive & there is definitely nothing dainty about them!
The art of filigree is a technique that takes skilled hands & precision & it is very obvious,these were made by a real pro..Each oxidized wire formation is perfectly rounded & in line with the perimeter & interior lines.
These are designed in a triple tier,with each tier connected by loops for movement.Tiny Mediterranean Coral beads are sewn into each section & have a 'diamond cut' technique following their outline,for sparkle when the light hits the earring.
Tubular Coral hangs in the center & sides..The "Bow" is so huge & depending on your finger size,you might be able put your finger through it!
They have Mexico written all over them & made with a true Oaxaca touch..
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 'Other'.
