Beautiful Filigree Earrings are hand-made by Artisans of Oaxaca. 

Filigree is a technique that dates 3000 yrs. BC was brought to Mexico by the Spaniards in the 1500s.  It has literally - spun - diverse cultures around the world.   

This piece combines the Filigree talents of Oaxacan goldsmiths and the Oaxacan embroidery of the San Antonino Dress in the embroidered hearts. 

Filigree: Each piece is meticulously created out of copper wire and spun into a beautiful lace design that is then dipped in a thin veil of 22-carat gold. Over time they will develop a distinct patina.

Embroidered Hearts: Each San Antonio Heart is handmade and embroidered in silk over muslin (manta) fabric bordered by rondelle crystal beads.
