With flowers atop her skull, Catrina is gorgeous. Oscar Figueroa Escorcia creates this excellent cocktail ring from gleaming Taxco sterling silver, with oxidation enhancing the details. The skull tops a slender sterling band.
The original "La Calavera Catrina" was a zinc etching created by the artist José Guadalupe Posada in Mexico around 1910. Posada created the character, a female skeleton with an elegant hat, as a satirical portrait of Mexican natives who aspired to European style and denied their own heritage. The catrina has since become an emblem of Mexico's Day of the Dead celebration and a popular folk art subject.

These seashell earrings are substantial and solidly made. I always swap out the hooks for leverbacks in my earrings, and these will make a statement.
