These 925 Sterling Silver Catrina Earrings From Taxco Mexico 'Catrina With Earrings' by Independent Artisans are a culturally rich and festive piece designed by Oscar Figueroa Escorcia. These sterling silver earrings feature the beloved Catrina, a character created by artist Jose Guadalupe Posada and now the smiling hostess of many of Mexico's Day of the Dead celebrations. Catrina herself is adorned with tiny amethyst earrings, adding a vibrant touch of color to the design. This piece beautifully honors the traditions of Taxco, Mexico's silversmithing capital, and serves as a proud expression of national identity and artistic innovation.

Born in Taxco, Guerrero in 1964, this designer has dedicated more than 30 years to the art of silver jewelry, carrying forward the traditions that define his hometown as Mexico’s silversmithing capital. Inspired by the cultural richness of pre-Hispanic heritage, he began creating his own designs at the age of 19 and gradually built collections that have been exhibited across the United States, Europe, South America, and Asia. His process combines precision and artistry, from melting and alloying silver to hand-polishing each piece to a mirror finish. Guided by respect for culture, values, and the environment, he sees jewelry as both identity and innovation, a way to honor tradition while responding to the constant changes of fashion. His work has earned several awards, including first place at the Palace of Fine Arts, and he continues to create jewelry that expresses pride in Mexico and the timeless beauty of silver.

Handcrafted in Mexico, these earrings are made from 925 sterling silver with amethyst accents. They feature a combination finish and secure with hook clasps. Dimensions are 1.2 inches L x 0.4 inches W.
