Silver Fiery Milagros Heart Pendant

Delicate Taxco silver lightly oxidized pendant. I call this piece "heart Milagros pendant" due to its look, this design or composition was inspired by the Milagros that are hang inside catholic churches and close to the altars.
I had talked about Milagros before in some other listings. They are shapes of hearts, legs, arms etc. and they represent a very specific pray for a sick person. After you had said your pray and asked for a miracle, you can hang/pin these small shapes on a red or black velvet section close to the altars and candles.

It is a very old tradition in the Catholic faith, specially in Latino America. Now, these Milagros have inspired jewelry designers to create all kinds of pieces using these motifs, giving life to very unique ethnic jewelry.

This specific silver pendant, as I mentioned before is slightly oxidized and carries several features that make it a special piece. Like the carved branches on the silver surface, making a great combination with the fiery edges that serve as a frame for this lovely heart. You can find great detail at the top, that creates the illusion of a real beating heart.
And the final feature that adds even more beauty to the whole composition, are the tiny silver beads and polished tiny silver heart that hang from the fiery frame.

Please take a look at the extra photos, for more details on this wonderful piece of jewelry.
