Lazo
Lazo is the Spanish word for “bow” and, when used in jewelry, refers to a style of earring with a top, bow and drop motif. This term is also used for a long ribbon-shaped brooch or bodice ornament, typically made of gold and set with gemstones, popular in Spain in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
