Romantic FEDERICO JIMENEZ- Hand Made Sleeping Beauty Turquoise- Sterling Paloma Mazahua Earrings - Very Wearable!
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 their designs, with many becoming some of the most popular designs to this present day throughout Mexico..
These are made with an authentic look of Mexico,but with that touch of Santa Fe!!The turquoise is 'signature' Sleeping Beauty & is a soft blue that lacks matrix which is the character known to this mine.. They are delicate in size,but an earring that can't help but go unnoticed!
This particular earring I have always believed, has to be one of the most popular earrings, because not only do they give you this fantastic authentic Mexican look, but they are extremely wearable without going over the top & tend to say more, with less! Plus,they are super SEXY on!!! (I know because I own quite a few in every stone color!) They are neither too big,nor too small & give you that 'just right' look!
They are totally hand fabricated by skilled Oaxaca artists who know how to make this earring the same way it was made back in the Spanish Colonial days..From all the detailing in the sterling, to the meticulous detailing in the doves that give them their realistic markings. Filigree wire follows the arracada's outline & are the anchor for the dangles to hold onto.
These are not only great for everyday wear,but would make a perfect Wedding/Anniversary Earring! They have love & romance written all over them & are very feminine in style!!

Please Note:
In order to give you close up photos so I can provide you with all the detail, photos can tend to make the item look much more larger & everything is more magnified & exaggerated than in actuality. Close up's make the item look so large & then you get it in hand & you are shocked since the item is much smaller than how they looked in the photos..So to get an accurate idea of how big these are,please either check them out being worn to get a rough idea (photo 2 & 9) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements
