Serious collector's of Mexican jewelry should always have one pair of fantastic Mazahua earrings. Afterall, Mazahua earrings have become a permanent fixture when it comes to fashion & especially after Frida's popularity hit the global stage, where you would see her wearing all her Mazahua's.. Another contributor at bringing this style to a wider platform is Federico . They are so popular that even Federico calls these his "Frida Earrings"! Mazahua earrings are unique to Mexican culture and have a long tradition in the region. It’s easy to see why this style of earrings are loved by so many around the globe.
Having a heavy Spanish influence,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 earrings offer a very feminine-authentic look of Mexico, while having an added touch of Santa Fe by using all those little round cuts of vivid blue Sleeping Beauty Turqupoise..They are totally hand fabricated by Federico's 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 Palomas that give them their realistic markings. Filigree wire follows the drop's outline & are what secure & give something for the dangles to hold onto.
They have love & romance written all over them & it's for this reason as to why they make the PERFECT wedding/anniversary earring!!!

Please Note:
I am not a professional photographer, but I do try to do my best at giving you accuracy in color.. So please take this into consideration & go through all the photos to see any variation.
To give you close up photos showing all the detail, pictures can tend to make the item look much more larger & much more more magnified than in actuality. Close up's make the item look so large & then you get it in hand & you are shocked because 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.
