Unless you’ve made Filigree jewelry, one would never understand how tedious of an art form it is.And to do it,the artist must be meticulous..It's an art that can’t be learned over night, nor in a matter of days, but rather by years of repetition to do it perfectly. First you figure, that the smallest gauge wire is purchased & then that wire has to be pulled to even a finer diameter, just before the wire is on the brink of losing it’s integrity. The experience of the artist will show through in their work & any mistakes will show through if their mathematical skills are off when they are wrapping all those little tiny circular formations round & round! .As you can see,these have perfect form, so its quite obvious that Federico used one of his top Oaxaca filigree masters to do these.

These are one of Oaxaca’s most traditional style earrings that are done in an arracada style..They are made in a 2 tier design that is connected by jump rings, so there’s movement. These are designed with accenting gemstones of genuine Garnets that I would call a pomegranate pomegranate /berry color & look fabulous against their oxidized sterling finish, that seem to give them a look of the past!

They have a very wearable weight to them & would compliment more wardrobes than one could imagine, but especially any wardrobe from Mexico!!

****Remember with filigree it isn't the weight of the sterling,nor the materials that your're paying for,but rather the artists time!****
