Carmen Beckmann Mexican silver Etruscan Earrings

I am a big fan of Carmen Beckmann’s Etruscan style jewelry - her domed Etruscan ring is a foundational piece in my collection and I enjoy it thoroughly. There is something about the way the wire-work and tiny florets with their bead centers oxidize with time that creates an air of warm, comfortable luxury around them that never fails to impress me. I could easily see the dangle earrings at hand worn by dignified Roman matrons leisurely enjoying their honeyed wine…
