A PERSONAL WORD:

When Federico came to the USA from his birthplace of Oaxaca in the 1960's,it wasn't till the 1970's however, that he got a 'calling' to show his phenomenal collection at the LA flea Market, where he brought with him the intricately made-romantic Oaxaca jewelry that is a "signature style' to his birthplace so it could be presented to a much wider audience.. He also brought with him all his vintage Native jewelry that he had been collecting for decades. At that time, CHER happened to be one of his 1st major customers which was at the time when Cher was flaunting some of the best Native pieces during the 70's... As Federico's popularity grew, so did his "Elite" celebrity base, who to this day,are still thirsty for anything that bares his name. Oaxaca jewelry is finally being appreciated as a historical art form, with much of the credit going to him...It has become so chic & fashionable to wear & no longer are women only wearing these traditional Oaxaca styles when wearing their Mexican textile clothing, but rather you'll find women wearing these in major cities with a variety of various style wardrobes!

THE EARRINGS:
Oozing all the beauty of Oaxaca, what's there not to love about these!!! The workmanship is incredible as the theme of "Love" was written all over them!

Impeccably & completely made by skilled hands, these jumbo sized earrings are designed where hearts, love birds & flowers dominate the earring. Each of these are 1st cut by hand & then one by one, the sterling is given all the detail so they have a 'realistic" look. Connected & swaying from the Palomas is a jump ring connected large 1-3/4" round flower that is domed by using a repousse technique, while each petal is accentuated .A little cup like flower sits in the center. The flower is highlighted by filigree wire, which then acts as an anchor to hold all the lime green turquoise pear shaped cuts to securely hang from.

Considered the ULTIMATE wedding earring for obvious reasons, but are not limited to! These will steal the spotlight no matter what you wearing or whatever occasion, or where ever you live! Spike up any wardrobe whether it's denim or any chic evening wear!! Here at Plata de Santa Fe, these are a 10 thumbs up earring & happened to be some of our favorite Oaxaca earrings!!
