Taxco Silver Mazahua Antique Mazahua Style Pendant, "Doves in Love"

Roy Nilson finds inspiration in the vintage jewellery from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. The style is still popular among Mexico's Mazahua women, who live in the states of Mexico, Michoacan and Queretaro. And their handcrafted jewellery reflects the region's customs with traditional motifs like birds, flowers and leaves. For this dazzling sterling silver pendant, the artisan creates ornate concentric hearts. Crowned by a flower, doves bill and coo as they express their love.
