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.

"Lovely!"
I am just delighted with these half moon earrings. They are so unique and I m surprised to find out that the design is based on 19th century illustrations, which makes them all the more special! Receiving a handwritten card depicting the country of origin is such a special touch. I very much appreciate it!
