The Story

Traditional yet classic earrings that you are bound to wear over and over. They were handmade by a lovely woman I met in Oaxaca, Mexico named Flor. She brought me to her house to share how she makes the silver molds for all her jewelry designs. She was taught by her parents and is one of 10 children.  

I also believe Frida Kahlo would have worn earrings *like* these! They are so classic to this region of Mexico, where Frida adapted her style.

  • 2.5” L x 1.25” W
  • Made with .925 sterling silver (stamped) with red coral-like  bead embellishments
