925 Sterling Silver Mexico Day of the Dead Earrings, "Catrina Chic"

The coquettish image of the Catrina inspires Roy Nilson's Day of the Dead jewellery collection. Catrina is the original creation of José Guadalupe Posadas, renowned author, journalist and political cartoonist (1852-1913). He is credited for popularizing the Day of the Dead celebrations, especially through the creation of skeletal cartoons that capture the Mexican attitude towards death. The most renowned of these is the Catrina, (meaning "dapper"), and she is always elegantly dressed featuring a wide brimmed hat with colourful flowers.

.925 Sterling silver.

Part of NOVICA's Dia de los Muertos collection.
