Details

Sporting dangly earrings of natural turquoise, this Catrina is glamorous. The talented Oscar Figueroa Escorcia in Mexico crafts this original pendant necklace from Taxco sterling silver, with oxidized areas enhancing the detail. The pendant centres a sterling cable chain.

The original "La Calavera Catrina" was a zinc etching created by the artist José Guadalupe Posada in Mexico around 1910. Posada created the character, a female skeleton with an elegant hat, as a satirical portrait of Mexican natives who aspired to European style and denied their own heritage. The catrina has since become an emblem of Mexico's Day of the Dead celebration and a popular folk art subject.

Gorgeous!!!”

My new bracelet arrived today and I immediately put it on. What a magnificent piece of jewelry! I know the jewelry artists in Taxco make lovely things and this bracelet is a great example of the talent in that region. The bracelet is exactly as described and pictured. It says it is shiny and it certainly is that. The clasp is made very well and will not unhook easily. In fact, the clasp is so lovely, I turned the bracelet to put the clasp on top of my wrist so it will show when wearing. I love that its simple rings interlock and its simplicity is a significant part of its beauty. I am very pleased with this purchase and appreciate the artistry involved. It was shipped promptly and I was informed of its progress once it reached the U.S. I highly recommend this artist and his talents.
