Oaxacan Filigree Earrings - Fan Turquoise Beaded - Medium - Gold

Rooted in a tradition that spans millennia, these fan-shaped filigree earrings are a testament to the living artistry of Oaxaca. The technique — introduced to Mexico by Spanish craftsmen in the 1500s and traced back to 3000 BC — transforms fine copper wire into breathtaking lace-like forms, each one shaped entirely by hand. A luminous coat of 22-carat gold gives every earring its warm, heirloom finish, while delicate turquoise bead detailing at the base adds a whisper of color and movement. No two pieces are exactly alike. Closure: Kidney Wire Total Length: 3.75" Weight per earring: 0.6 oz 22-carat gold over copper Turquoise bead detailing Non-returnable. Non-exchangeable.
