Sterling Silver Mazahua Style Garnet Chandelier Earrings 'Mazahua Lady' These 'Mazahua Lady' chandelier earrings by Independent Artisans are an extravagant and meaningful piece from the Mexican artisan Juan Carlos Flores and his family. Inspired by the traditional half-moon earrings worn by Mazahua women, these pieces are a beautiful reflection of heritage and identity. The intricate sterling silver is adorned with a flower that embraces a garnet, with faceted garnet globes dancing like fringe below. This piece is a testament to the family's dedication to preserving their culture through art, offering wearers a stunning and deeply symbolic connection to Mazahua tradition.
Mexican artisan Juan Carlos Flores represents the third generation of a family dedicated to silver jewelry. Alongside relatives Dora Magdalena Rodríguez, Osvaldo Rodríguez, and Rosario Rodríguez, he preserves Mazahua traditions through handcrafted pieces inspired by nature and culture. Using granulated silver melted into sheets and wires, the family creates designs adorned with birds, flowers, and leaves, motifs also present in the traditional dress of Mazahua women. Some pieces are further enriched with semi-precious or precious stones. Though balancing creativity with market demands is challenging, the family takes pride in sharing their culture through their art. For them, each piece is more than jewelry—it is a reflection of heritage and identity. By innovating without abandoning tradition, they continue to keep Mazahua artistry alive for future generations.
Handcrafted in 925 sterling silver with 4.5 carats of garnet, these earrings measure 1.8 inches L x 0.9 inches W x 0.2 inches D and weigh 0.25 oz. They feature an antiqued finish and a lever-back earring style.
