ABOUT
The Catrina earrings, inspired by the rich Mexican folklore, are an ode to the joyful celebration of the Day of the Dead.
The Catrina, emblematic of this tradition, embodies the festive and colorful spirit that prevails during this celebration in Mexico. Imagined in the form of an elegantly dressed female skeleton, adorned with a characteristic hat, she emerges as a beloved figure in the lively streets during the festivities.
These silver earrings captivate the imagination by faithfully reproducing the head, or skull, of the Catrina. The skulls are adorned according to tradition with beautiful cempasuchil flowers, symbols of life and rebirth in Mexican culture. Petals and leaves dance around the skulls, adding a touch of grace and color to these unique pieces.
Wearing these earrings not only honors the memory of the deceased but also celebrates their life in a joyful and luminous way. They embody the spirit of celebration and resilience that animates the Mexican people during the Day of the Dead, reminding us that even in death, there is beauty, color, and joy.
