FARRELL PACHECO - Triple Layered- Abalone / Mother of Pearl / Spiny Oyster "Pueblo Flowers" Earrings
FARRELL PACHECO - Triple Layered- Abalone / Mother of Pearl / Spiny Oyster "Pueblo Flowers" Earrings
DESCRIPTION:
These are made in a dimensional triple flower & are made with the same concept as the gorgeous orange Spiny Oyster earrings shown in the last photo,except with these,they are made with a Abalone base,where Farrell cut directly into the whole Abalone shell, so you get ALL the characteristics inherit to the shell on both earrings! Then working with the abalone,he sculpted the abalone where each have definition & a scalloped perimeter.
Laying atop of the abalone,Farrell then cut shimmery white MOP & red/orange Spiny Oyster shell.The work is SO clean,that you will wonder"How did he do that"??But this is something I'm always impressed with,that their jewelry can be done so well,you would think they were machine made! In all reality,everything will be done by hand with them,the one difference is,they just know what they're doing!
The are literally pieces of 'wearable art' that are truly feminine!They're not over the top in size (1-1/2"round) & because they are all shell & lack metal,makes them a very wearable earring! They are a true Pueblo earring & will compliment other Pacheco pieces,Pueblo,SW pieces! You can also pull from any one of the materials used!
