Tumbaga Wind Mills Dangle Earrings

These contemporary handmade mixed metals earrings were created in Taxco, Mexico by skilled artisans that had been working with metals for most of their lives. 
Most of the jewelry that comes from Taxco, is related to silver but Tumbaga is getting more and more popular nowadays. Not only because is cheaper than gold and silver but also because of its beautiful bright color, that gives jewelry the look of pure gold.
This is due to the nature of the alloy, gold, copper and brass. 

Tumbaga is also malleable and can be used for so many other things than jewelry, but in Mexico silversmiths had found a great metal to work with at a much lower price than other precious metals. They had created beautiful ornamental pieces like this one and make very fashionable jewelry. 

The surface also carries a nice subtle texture, it is not completely polished, a nice matte finish.
