DESCRIPTION:  This is an elegant pair of earrings by legendary Oaxacan artisan Federico Jimenez. Hand wrought sterling silver designs from his "Frida" collection (homage to Frida Kahlo), incorporate doves,  dangles, and filigree. 
 
FEDERICO JIMENEZ was born in Oaxaca, Mexico in 1941 in a Mixtec Indian Community.  He came to the USA in 1967 to study and work.  He studied jewelry making and design at the University Community School.  In 1970 He and his Wife Ellen Belber Jimenez took a trip to the  Southwest and fell in love with the American Indian Culture.  He admired the Indian craftsmanship and technique so much that he was inspired to  start a collection of Folk Art.  He was a prior trustee of the "Millicent Rogers Museum" in Taos, New  Mexico and The Southwest Indian Museum in Los Angeles, CA. He is  currently a trustee on the board of the "Autry National Center" and "La  Plaza De La Cultura" in downtown Los Angeles, CA.
