Taxco Milagrito Dangle Earrings in 925 Sterling Silver, "Small Miracles"

In Mexico, when someone receives a favor from a saint or other Catholic image, they can express their gratitude by pinning a small charm, called a milagrito, onto the image. Popular saints can have many hanging on or near them as a testament to their generosity. These 925 sterling silver earrings are based on the heart milagrito - two larger hearts with a series of tiny ones hanging waterfall style. They are made by Oscar Figueroa Escorcia of the famous silver town of Taxco.
