LEARN ABOUT MARIA BELEN’S BROTHER ROY IN THE ‘ABOUT THE ARTIST’ DROP DOWN!!!
It is very obvious that Roy used one of his top filigree masters to make these beauties..I have seen many filigree earrings, but there is something so pretty about these.They have a perfect circular form,with each circular wire being done with precision.This is art that you have to know what your doing & with a little mathematics & know how,the design will come out perfect.
The overall beauty comes from all the contrast between the more polished beading & the oxidized filigree.
The base is all hand made for the tiny hand sewn 2.8 mm beads to sit in.Outside these sewn beads the wire is given a ‘diamond cut’ technique for a tad of faceted sparkle..Has a shepherds hook wire back with latch for safety.
Perfect for the woman who loves ‘All things Mexico” & are well worn with a Mexican textile wardrobe,but can look as elegant with a sexy designer dress! They have a very wearable weight & no doubt will be a great "Go-To" filigree earring!
Please Note: With filigree,you are not paying for the weight of the silver nor the materials,but rather the time!! Filigree is a time consuming process that many Filigree artists now have stopped doing it because the time that goes into it & the money the artist ends up getting,does not balance.It is a art that truly needs to be appreciated!
** There is one pair in pearls that are a more pastel pink color.**
