FEDERICO JIMENEZ -Spanish Colonial Style - Oxidized 925 Filigree Pearl Dangle Earrings - Pristine Workmanship!!
One thing that these aren’t, are your 'average,standard,everyday filigree earrings,but probably one of the better filigree earrings you'll find.With these,there are perfectly formed circular patterns, within patterns of precise curved filigree wiring that only one whose skilled in this technique,can do.
To do precise & perfect filigree at the level these are made,a artist has to be at a "Master" level,since years & years of continually doing it over & over only help you to achieve mastering pristine filigree work,at this level. There are many steps to the process & it's not only pulling the wire thinner than when the wire was bought,but what looks like 'twisted wire',is actually done by using a serration technique,which lends itself to the look..
The garlands of little pearls are hand sewn & the larger size pearls in the crescent sit in their own little 'cup' & are also hand sewn down.
Two pearls are used for each of the dangles & are wire wrapped to the bottom of the earrings.
They are super feminine & very 'Colonial' in appearance,while having a very vintage look..They are perfect for any Folk Art event,as well as having the versatility to be worn when out for a elegant evening event!!
