This lovely pair of St. Benedict earrings is composed of embellished holy medals dangling from embellished posts. The holy medals are cast in fine detail in German silver. Each holy medal is housed in a beautiful round gold frame surrounded by tiny gold beads, beautifully cast in Tombaga. The stunning frame shelters a Benedictine cross behind a clear window. The posts are clear Swarovski crystals trimmed in a fine rope of Tombaga.
The holy medals are 3/4" in diameter. The crystal posts are 1/4" in diameter. The hanging length is 1 1/4".
The St. Benedict earrings are designed and hand crafted by family-owned Ala Blanca Designs. The Ala Blanca artisans have been creating inspired sacred jewelry for two generations in South Texas. Each piece of Ala Blanca jewelry is originally designed and made by hand with old world craftsmanship. The 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.
