Peruvian earrings, silver filigree earrings with heart leaf design
WHY WE LOVE IT
A gorgeous pair of filigree earrings handcrafted by a Peruvian silversmith from sterling silver filigree threads worked into a heart shape with a subtle leaf pattern.
These lovely, feminine Peruvian earrings are artisan made in natural 925 sterling silver.
These pretty 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 heart shape with a subtle 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: 4.5cm long x 3cm wide
or
(Imperial) Full drop: 1.77" x 1.18" wide
Being an artisan made product, measurements may vary very slightly.
There is a pendant that matches these earrings, listed separately.
