“I feel like a Inca Royal !!!”

Yes, I admit I bought the earrings because I feel like a queen, and the earrings will prove it !!!! But mainly to capture an ancient culture art beauty and have it on me, what a treat !! The filigrane work is beautiful, my daughter liked it too. No wonder Alfredo Inga is considered a master in this filigrane craft. Thank you for your art!
