Details

Ever elegant, Catrina poses among flowers and bones in a brilliant necklace designed by Maria Belén Nilson. The necklace is crafted of sterling silver and detailed with oxidized accents that recalls the beauty of antique Mexican jewellery.

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 La Catrina (meaning "dapper"), and she is always elegantly dressed, featuring a wide-brimmed hat with colourful flowers.

“Sleek, elegant, and unforgettable”

What can I say? This is one of the best jewelry purchases I ve made all year. The clean lines go well with Art Deco or Bauhaus-inspired outfits, but there s something distinctive that sets it apart even from those artistic movements (which happen to be among my favourites). The abstract look of rushing water captured in silver is truly unique. I love its versatility too; whether you wear it right side up, upside down, turned on its left side, or turned on its right side, it will look dazzling no matter what. It goes with anything from casual chic to more formal outfits. Best of all, the craftsmanship can t be beat; so far, this brooch seems to have perhaps the most secure clasp of any I ve ever owned (and I own a *lot* of brooches). Highly recommend.
