Embellished with a local Philippine pearl, the Estela Pearl Drop Earrings are an elevated take on an iconic silhouette. Handcrafted in gold filigree, a meticulous and rare technique perfected by the plateros of Ilocos Sur, every heirloom carries the proud story of our pre-colonial heritage and of fine Filipino craftsmanship.Β You may also want to look at the Pearl Drop Earrings 6 rositas for a similar piece.

The artistry of gold filigree craftsmanship has been practiced by native plateros for centuries. The platero begins by melting blocks of gold or silver, repeatedly hammering and cooling them until they become fine and delicate threads. The threads are carefully shaped by hand into "kalado" or lace-like patterns inspired by nature. To craft more intricate pieces, the platero individually welds small drops together to form beautiful heirlooms.

As this is made of 985 pure silver coated in 24-karat gold, this piece is more durable than traditional gold plated jewelry as there is a thicker layer of gold.Β ItΒ may still tarnish over time, giving itΒ a more vintage look.

To help with long termΒ preservation we recommend to reduce exposure to sweat and perfume and store within an air tight container or our custom AMAMI pouch provided with your order. We recommend not to wear your pieceΒ under the shower.

Once your piece has aged, if you prefer the most vibrant look of gold, you may obtain goldΒ replatingΒ service from your local jewelry shop.
