The Story

Traditional yet classic earrings that you are bound to wear over and over. They were handmade by a talented and 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.  

This style of earrings is called "arracada." The do not sit perpendicular to the head. They sit more parallel with a slight angle. They are made that way...your profile view will be stunning!

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.
