These earrings are painted on both sides - hummingbird on one side and design on the other. The paint or a sealant is raised off the surface of the marble. There are tiny rhinestones incorporated into the designs. They are beautifully done. I was afraid they would be too heavy because they are marble but they are not. The puffy flower shape of the marble is a bit less than one inch. So glad to have them.
Me encantan los pajaros mexicanos. I just love these whimsical birds reminiscent of the folk art of Mexico. Very charming with a touch of the richly colored blue drops that attract the eye without being gaudy. Elegant but not formal so the earrings are very versatile.
But so much more. The artistry and delicasy of these earrings is simply amazing. I have liquid silver and turquoise necklaces that they perfectly complement, but they look good with practically anything-from dressy to jeans and a tee. Just make sure you add a plastic backing so you don't lose them-these are to be treasured.
