Details

"To design these earrings, I was inspired by the shape of the milagros mexicanos or 'Mexican miracles,' a custom still preserved by many Catholic Mexicans, who will pin a steel brooch in the shape of a body part to a saint's robe. The brooch represents an ailment in that specific part," says Maria Belen Nilson as she explains the surreal essence of these handcrafted sterling silver earrings. "Doves spreading their wings also become the face of a woman with eyes downcast. The earrings symbolize spirit's vision." The artisan crafts the design with an oxidized finish on the main body of the earrings and a contrasting highly polished finish on the pendulum-like dangles.

"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.

"Chirp!"

These are sweet little earrings that I plan to wear with a larger pair of bird earrings. Perfect for a child or adult. Again, they look just like the picture! Well done!
