The silversmith who made them spent hours coiling and soldering hand-twisted sterling wire into the intricate filigree cage that holds the coral stone — then repeated the process for the second earring. At 3 inches long and 2 inches wide, they make a genuine statement. The warm coral tones work with the bright sterling silver in a color pairing that Oaxacan jewelers have been refining since well before the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Oaxacan filigree\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFiligrana oaxaqueña\u003c\/em\u003e arrived in Oaxaca via Spanish silversmiths in the 1500s and was absorbed into local craft tradition so completely that it became one of the city's signature art forms. Only a handful of family workshops in Oaxaca's historic jewelry quarter still practice it at this level. Each piece is built one hair-thin wire at a time — twisted, coiled, and soldered into lace-like patterns that require extraordinary patience and skill. There is no machine equivalent of this technique.\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 coral\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 Large hoop earring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oaxaca, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 3.0 inches (7.6 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 2.0 inches (5.1 cm)\u003c\/li\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\u003eThree inches of Oaxacan filigree deserves a clean canvas. With a white or cream blouse, the coral and sterling combination reads warm and confident. With a black dress, the same earrings become the entire focal point — the rest of the outfit recedes and these do the work.

Polish silver gently with a silver cloth. Never expose coral to chemicals, perfume, lotion, or prolonged direct sunlight — coral is porous and absorbs what it contacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the coral genuine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — genuine coral, hand-set by the Oaxacan silversmith.

Treat these with the same care you would give to fine lace: avoid crushing, catching on fabric, or storing under pressure.
