These 925 Sterling Silver Mexico Day of the Dead Earrings 'Catrina Chic' by Independent Artisans are a stylish and culturally significant creation by Roy Nilson. Inspired by the coquettish image of the Catrina, the renowned skeletal cartoon by Jose Guadalupe Posada, these earrings are part of a special Day of the Dead collection. They capture the Mexican attitude toward death with elegance and charm. The design features Catrina figures wearing their own wide-brimmed hats and elegant attire, perfect for celebrating this vibrant tradition. This piece is a beautiful blend of art, journalism, and cultural celebration, making it an essential accessory for those who appreciate Mexico’s rich heritage.
Born in 1962 in Río Cuarto, Argentina, this designer was raised in a family that valued art in all its forms. Though his early studies were not artistic, he trained as a stage actor and later pursued acting seriously in his 40s. After moving to Mexico, he turned to jewelry design, discovering a new medium for expression. His first creation, a silver ring, remains a treasured family heirloom. Since 2003, he has dedicated himself fully to jewelry, working alongside artisans who handcraft each piece using traditional methods. His designs are simple, original, and deeply inspired by life and the people around him. Family remains central to his practice, with relatives actively involved in his creative journey. For him, jewelry is not just adornment but a form of art, as essential and fulfilling as theater, cinema, and literature in celebrating the beauty of life.
Handcrafted in Mexico, these earrings are made from 925 sterling silver. They feature a combination of finishes and secure with hook clasps. They measure 2.4 inches L x 0.5 inches W.
