This Purple Quartz Catrina Skull Pendant Necklace by Rosa Padillas Solís is a fanciful and culturally rich accessory. Crafted from sterling silver, the pendant features the classic Catrina calavera skull, a symbol of Mexico's Day of the Dead. The skull is split into two halves and is wreathed with conch shells. A single purple quartz bead adds a touch of color and beauty to this striking design.
Rosa Padillas Solís, founder of the jewelry brand Rosa Rojo, is a Guadalajara-born artisan whose work draws deeply from Mexico’s pre-Hispanic heritage. Inspired by sacred symbols such as the jaguar, feathered serpent, and spiral snail, her designs reinterpret ancient archetypes with contemporary artistry. She first discovered her passion while reselling jewelry and gemstones, eventually deciding to create her own pieces in silver accented with pearls, agates, and hematite. Alongside her husband, she develops sketches that evolve into meticulously handcrafted jewels using the lost-wax technique, a method once employed by Mesoamerican cultures. Since launching her brand, Rosa has received recognition at the prestigious ENART competition, where her work has earned top prizes. For her, jewelry is both a tribute to her cultural roots and a way to imbue wearers with beauty, meaning, and heritage.
Handcrafted from 925 sterling silver and quartz, this necklace measures 17.5 inches L and 0.2 inches W. The pendant measures 2.4 inches L x 2.4 inches W and fastens with a lobster claw clasp. It has a combination finish. Variations in color and variegation are to be expected.
