Filigree earrings in silver with an intricate forever leaf pattern
WHY WE LOVE IT
A delicate pair of filigree earrings handcrafted by a Peruvian silversmith in sterling silver filigree threads, worked into an intricate forever leaf pattern.
These lovely, feminine Peruvian earrings are artisan made in natural 925 sterling silver.
These lovely silver filigree earrings make handmade gifts and perfect presents for somebody special.
Custom made in Peru by a talented young silversmith and inspired by Inca patterns, these delicate filigree earrings have been handcrafted using the art of filigree into a beautiful forever leaf pattern: made from 925 sterling silver, a single wire, itself created from several strands of silver, is twisted to create unique, intricate patterns.
Filigree was introduced to the Americas by the conquering Spaniards, who in turn inherited the technique from the influx of Arabs into Spain during the period of Al-Andalus.
The technique was widespread in the Middle East thanks to new ideas introduced via the Silk Road and Jewish communities became expert in the art of filigree.
The handmade earrings measure:
(Metric): Full drop: 5cm long x 1.8cm wide
or
(Imperial): Full drop: 1.96" long x 0.70" wide.
