This jewelry that our designer Beth Ferrara created is etched in southwest symbolism and inspired by Mexican Talavera tiles – which are handmade ceramics with designs that have a one-of-a-kind feel. The earrings are decorated with simple etching on the back for a casual, wear-everywhere feel. Our silver items have a protective lacquer finish to help prevent oxidation. To care for our silver items, simply wipe down your pieces with a dry, 100% cotton cloth. Keep them away from water, jewelry cleaners, silver cleaners, treated polishing cloths, perfumes, hairspray, lotions, hand-sanitizers and make-up. We offer our own that you can safely use.
