skull

Inspired by Day of the Dead imagery, Mexican artisan Oscar Figueroa Escorcia designs a beautiful pendant necklace. Detailed with intricate floral motifs, a skull is crafted of sterling silver after the tradition of Taxco silversmithing. A combination of finishes completes the design.

Inspired by the etching of a well-dressed skeleton created by Mexican illustrator Jose Guadalupe Posada in 1913, Guatemalan artisan Estuardo Jimenez creates a necklace with a handmade sterling silver skull pendant. The original drawing, called La Calavera Catrina, had the skeleton wearing a large and ornate hat and was meant as a satire of Mexicans who wished to emulate upper-class Europeans. This Catrina has an engraved leaf and flower head covering rather than a hat and hangs from black cotton cord. Openwork gives the skull the appearance of facial features. The necklace can be made longer or shorter using the sliding knot on the cord.

A curious owl graces a cow skull in this bold pendant necklace for men designed by Bali’s Made Wardika. Intricately hand-carved from cow bone and buffalo horn, it features a brown leather cord whose sliding knot closure allows you to adjust it as desired. Bring a unique touch to your look with this remarkable and fashionable accessory.

The marine depths, as mysterious as they seem, are the home of a fierce creature with a wise mind. Balinese artisan Made Wardika spreads the legend of the Kraken with this hand-carved cow bone necklace, whose pendant depicts the king of these marine spaces holding a skull as a symbol of magnificence. The piece is also equipped with a cotton cord that can be adjusted to your liking.

The vibrant colors of the Day of the Dead celebrations decorate this necklace from the Mexican region. Artisan Fabiola Quevedo follows advanced techniques to create the necklace's fused glass pendant, portraying a classic skull in festive hues—dangling from a comfortable faux suede cord of sterling silver accents.
