Sterling silver pendant necklace, "Life Amid the Maguey"
A giant maguey spreads its broad flat leaves to shelter and welcome the personages who dwell among the venerable plants. Working in silver, Francisco Sánchez creates an image derived from Aztec codices. Yet he brings a fresh, new look to the design as he transforms it into a pendant necklace.

"I LOVE THESE EARINGS!"
The earrings are perfect for me. I am unable to wear wire earrings, and it is hard to find post earrings that are not too small or too big. The size is just right and the craftsmanship is exceptional. Thank you Francisco Sanchez for your creative talent! LED
