Handmade in Oaxaca, these distinctive Gusano-style earrings feature coral and silver in an elongated, sculptural design. Measuring approximately 2 3/4 inches long by 3/4 inch wide, they showcase the bold character of Oaxacan artisan jewelry.

Gusano translates to "worm" or "caterpillar" in Spanish.
Shape: The name describes the undulating, curved, or segmented shape of the earring's body, which mimics the way a worm moves. They generally hang in a vertical, rounded rectangular form.
Traditional gusano earrings feature intricate silver or gold filigree work. They are typically adorned with tiny seed pearls, fresh-water pearls, coral beads, or gemstones like garnets and cubic zirconia.
Craftsmanship: Making a single pair requires delicate wirework and can take local artisans several days to handcraft. They often use a front-to-back shepherd's hook wire closure with a small safety latch
