Gorgeous Mazahua Silver Milagros Earrings

These handcrafted artisan earrings are just so charming, they come from our "Milagros" line. I've mentioned this line, many times before in some of our previous listings. They are a beautiful version of the Milagros that are hang in a dark color velvet board with candles on the bottom, where people pray for ailments on themselves or love ones to disappear.

You can still find these little figurines in so many churches around Mexico, if somebody has a problem with arms, legs, heart, heads etc. they just hang a shape that is closest to their physical ailment at the moment and pray away, until the miracle happens and the illness goes away.

The Mazahua jewelry adopted these figurines and translated them into beautiful, creative jewelry. This is one marvelous example of the traditional interpretation of this religious custom.

All the features on these lovely earrings are right on point and show a more fashionable example of Mexican folk art. I will like to point out the nice combination between polished silver and the darker oxidized silver that shows a wonderful contrast in the whole composition, giving a kind of vintage look to the earrings.

Please take a look at the extra photos, for more details on these lovely silver Mazahua earrings.
