This lovely pair of St. Benedict earrings is composed of ornately embellished holy medals dangling from sterling silver wires. The holy medals are cast in fine detail in German silver. Each holy medal is housed in a beautiful rectangular silver frame featuring four gray Swarovski crystals. The frame is cast in German silver with thick sculpted scrolls and a fine inner rope edging. The stunning frame shelters a Benedictine cross behind a clear window.
The earrings are 1" long and 7/8" wide. The hanging length is 1 1/2".
The St. Benedict earrings are designed and hand crafted by family-owned Ala Blanca Designs. Each piece of Ala Blanca jewelry is originally designed and made by hand with old world craftsmanship. The Ala Blanca artisans have been creating inspired sacred jewelry for two generations in South Texas. Most pieces complement others in the collection to create a coordinated look. The materials used are primarily German silver and Tombaga, a pre-Columbian South American gold alloy. Stones are Swarovski crystal or semi-precious stones. Polish as you would sterling.
