Oaxacan filigrana is the art of twisting sterling silver to nearly the width of human hair and then coiling, weaving, and soldering it into intricate lace like patterns. 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
