This Virgin of Guadalupe Natural Flower and Silver Chain Necklace 'Flowers for Guadalupe' by Independent Artisans is a deeply spiritual and beautifully unique piece. Designed by Emerson Zarate, this necklace features a beloved image of the Virgin of Guadalupe surrounded by natural flowers immortalized in resin. The use of real flowers pays tribute to the miraculous blooming of roses as proof of her visit in 1531. This is a celebration of both nature's fleeting brilliance and Mexico’s cultural heritage, transformed into enduring art.
Born in Mexico City but raised in the countryside, this artisan grew up surrounded by rivers, mountains, and wildflowers that shaped her creative vision. Her family pioneered a unique technique in 1982 when her father began suspending tropical flowers in resin framed with sterling silver. Unlike pressed flowers, their method preserved the natural shapes and colors of blooms, from delicate petals to full rosebuds. Over time, she refined the process, drawing on her background in photography to enhance precision and detail. Today, she cultivates flowers year-round and handcrafts jewelry that captures Mexico’s springlike beauty in wearable form. Working alongside her brother, who trained in metallurgy in Taxco, she oversees every stage of production, from processing silver to preserving blossoms. Each piece is a celebration of nature’s fleeting brilliance, transformed into enduring art that honors both family tradition and Mexico’s botanical heritage.
Handcrafted from 925 sterling silver and natural flowers preserved in resin, this necklace features a Figaro chain that measures 17.8 inches in length, with a 1.6 x 0.8-inch pendant, and closes with a lobster claw clasp.
