Vintage Mexican Sterling Silver "Frida" / Pajaritos Earrings W/ Garnet Fringe
Elegant and lacy with a design rooted in early, European-influenced Mexican folk art, these "Flores y Pajaritos" (flowers and little birds) earrings have a pair of "lovebirds" dangling a garnet between them on top, layered, crescent-shaped dangles with scrollwork, leaves and several sizes of rosettes, and a lively fringe of reddish-purple rhodolite garnets on the bottom. Popularly referred to as "Frida" earrings after Mexican artist Frida Kahlo's love of earrings and indigenous Mexican art in general, these mid-century earrings have a chic stylishness that's easy to wear and at home day or night. In excellent condition, the unmarked, handmade earrings test positive for sterling silver, measure 2 5/8 x 1 1/4-inches overall and weigh a combined 14.1 grams.
