These Rectangular Amber Framed in Sterling Silver Drop Earrings 'Misty View' by Independent Artisans are a pair of unusually elegant drop earrings. Mexican artisan Juan Garcia frames bezeled rectangles of translucent natural amber with sterling silver. Gorgeous natural inclusions float in the amber like "drops of burnt orange ink swimming in water," making each piece unique. These earrings beautifully reflect the artisan's dedication to preserving cultural heritage and the artistry of amber.
Born in a Maya town in Chiapas, Mexico, this artisan has worked with silver and amber since the age of fourteen, a craft passed down by his parents. What began as practice with charcoal soon became a lifelong passion, refined in his home workshop where his wife and children now assist. Together, they cut, polish, and set amber into jewelry that reflects both tradition and personal artistry. His commitment extends to his community, purchasing amber locally, lending materials to fellow artisans, and mentoring neighbors in the trade. Recognized as one of the most successful artisans in Chiapas, he exhibits regularly at amber fairs and is proud that his jewelry sustains his family and preserves cultural heritage. Each piece, crafted with dedication, carries not only the beauty of amber but also the spirit of family and the resilience of Maya tradition.
Handcrafted from .925 sterling silver and natural amber, these post earrings measure 0.7 inches L x 0.6 inches W x 0.6 inches D and have a high-polish finish.
