Leaf Silver Filigree Earrings

Leaf Shape Earrings Handcrafted Earrings Fine Jewelry from Mompox - Colombia Silver Filigree Earrings Dangle Stylish Pretty Boho Chic

One of the most precious goldsmith work in Colombia is the art of filigree.

Mompox jewelry is characterized by the use of the filigree technique; that is, work in miniature dimensions. Mompox filigree work produces handicrafts of very high quality with fine gold strands following the process of stretching, twisting, and flattening metal.

The basis of the filigree is a filament, a symbol of the city’s identity. Just about anything an artisan can imagine and conceive can be made from these strands of gold. It all depends on his or her creativity, sensitivity, and manual skills.

Each artist and each workshop have their own style, which is easily recognizable by colleagues. The most characteristic designs fall in two groups:

Forms that represent elements from nature: bouquets of leaves, flowers, fruits, petals, clover leaves, birds (macaws among them), butterflies, bird wings, insects, snails, fish, frogs, horns, and tears.
Geometric shapes.
Both groups are used separately or in combination for the frame or for the body.

Pre-Columbian style jewelry is recognized for its artistic and artisan elaboration process that makes it unique and original.

Each piece is carefully handmade in Colombia.
