Flower Filigree Stud Earrings

Made from sterling silver, these gorgeous earrings are crafted by master artisans from Cuttack, India. 
The city is home to the delicate and stunning art of silver work, Filigree.
Locally, this art form, known as “Tarakasi”, flourished under the patronage of Mughal emperors. In this 700-year old sophisticated jewelry metalwork, tiny beads or twisted threads or a combination of both are artistically woven together to form intricate motifs and designs.
This tedious and physically demanding process is done by hand and requires at least two artisans.
Even today, Tarakasi invokes classic iconography used extensively in drawings found in Indian temples.
Heaps of patience, skill and hard work is required in creating a filigree piece owing to its intricately designed, beautiful appearance.
