The artisan who made these small hoops spent hours on the silverwork alone before placing a piece of genuine turquoise at the center. The result is a hoop earring that reads as delicate from across a room and rewards close attention — the kind of piece you find yourself explaining to people who ask where you got it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout this piece\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFiligrana oaxaqueña\u003c\/em\u003e arrived in Oaxaca with Spanish silversmiths in the 16th century and was absorbed so deeply into Indigenous craft tradition that it became one of the city's defining art forms. Today, only a few family workshops in Oaxaca's historic silver quarter still work at this level of detail. These hoops are the classic expression of that tradition: sterling silver filigree framing a luminous natural turquoise stone in a hoop silhouette that works for everyday wear and special occasions alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; craftsmanship\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sterling silver (.925)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Genuine natural turquoise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver and blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-twisted Oaxacan filigree (\u003cem\u003efiligrana oaxaqueña\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small hoop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oaxaca, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCraftsmanship:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handcrafted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 9 g \/ 0.32 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStyling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe small scale makes these hoops a daily-wear earring — they sit close to the ear and let the filigree do quiet, intricate work.
