ABOUT THE ARTIST:Originally from Oaxaca Mexico,Federico's life has been filled with numerous blessings..A man who has always been lead by his strong instincts,life was good when he came to the USA,but it was in the 70's when he learned that a position he was planning on getting here in the US, didn't happen. (Lucky for us!) Being the visionary man he is,he saw opportunity while seeing people selling their goods at the LA flea Market & always having been a avid collector of historical pieces of jewelry & textiles, (with the focus on Mexico,the Colonial era,as well as Native American arts) Federico set up booth & brought a small amount of Oaxaca Filigree jewelry & old Native American pieces with him on that 1st day at the market,when he realized he was on to something,because when the day was done, he left with everything that he brought,being sold..
CHER
was one of Federico's 1st customers that weekend, back when she was wearing squash blossom necklaces,concho belts,etc.& pretty much bought him out! The rest is history & since then,celebrities have been thirsty to get their hands on anything with his name attached!
He was the one who played a major role in bringing from his birthplace this intricately made jewelry to the USA so it could be presented to a much wider audience.. Because of Federico,Oaxaca jewelry is finally being appreciated as a historical art form..It has become so chic & fashionable to wear & no longer are women only wearing these traditional Oaxaca styles when wearing their Mexican textile clothing, but rather you'll find women wearing these in practically every major urban city with a variety of wardrobes wearing this style now.
******************************
THE EARRINGS:
Federico brings his love of traditional style Oaxaca jewelry & pairs these with some vibrant blue Arizona Sleeping Beauty turquoise. They have Mexico written all over them,but with that added touch of the southwest!
From beginning to end, everything about these are still made with the power of the hand by Federico's finest Oaxaca artisan friends & are not an earring that can be made in a matter of an hour or two.. The floral tops show off their dimensional appearance by having used a repousse technique that gives them their dome shape,the doves are intricately detailed with tooling that accentuates the birds feathers & finally the arracada bottom tier was done by using the filigree wire that is also used as the anchor for the turquoise dangles.
Designed in a 3-tier design that are made with a light gauge sterling, allows these to be very wearable that y
ou may not even know they're on,
while offering a fantastic look that can dress up any Mexican wardrobe, to any western wardrobe to wearing them with your sexiest black dress! (See weights below)
Would make a great Wedding,Anniversary gift or anytime you want to "Say it with love! They are super sweet looking and highly feminine!!!

**I am not a professional photographer, but I do try to do my best at giving you accuracy in color without a whole lot of photo editing being done except to get rid of unwanted tones.Please go through photos to see any variation.
To give you close ups,pictures tend to look much more larger & much more more magnified than in actuality. Close up's make the item look so large & then you get it in hand & you are shocked since the item is much smaller than how they looked in the photos..So to get an accurate idea of how big these are,please either check them out being worn to get a rough idea (photos 2 & 9) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements.
Also, because of close ups,things you'll see in photos that look highly noticeable, but are generally not in person.
