Peacock Cosmos Earrings by Damar Filigree
From Damar's Cosmos Collection, these earrings pay homage to the "Pavo" Constellation, Latin for 'peacock'. The silver filigree in these earrings mimics the shape of peacock feathers with a central circle of iridescent resin. Very dreamy.
The filigree in Damar's work is done in Mompas, Colombia where the delicate threads of filigrana momposina are intertwined to form their intricate designs. This technique passed down through generations, is a testament to the skill and patience of the momposino artisans. Each piece of filigrana momposina is a work of art that reflects the rich biodiversity and landscapes of Mompos.
Ear wire earrings made of sterling silver, resin, and 950 sterling silver to achieve fine filigree thread thicknesses.
2.5" drop, 1.25" bottom, 0.75" top circle.
