Artisan Monica Vazquez of Mexico hand crafts these lovely dangle earrings that feature a cultured pearl atop a Talavera-style ceramic bead painted with a beautiful deep blue bloom, and finished with a matching crystal bead. The hooks and findings on the earrings are sterling silver.

About her work, the artisan says: 'I have a deep admiration and love for everything that has been done in Mexico. I love that with these designs we give women beautiful accessories and highlight Mexican craftsmanship.'

Because each ceramic bead is individually handcrafted, the motifs and their placement may vary slightly, making your earrings an original work of art.
