Silver Fiery Milagros Heart Earrings

Delicate Taxco silver lightly oxidized earrings. I call these pieces the "heart Milagros earrings" due to their look, this design or composition was inspired by the Milagros that are hung 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 prayer for a sick person. After you have said your prayer 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, especially in Latino America. Now, these Milagros have inspired jewelry designers to create all kinds of pieces using these motifs, giving life to unique ethnic jewelry.

These specific silver earrings, as I mentioned before are slightly oxidized and carry several features that make them special pieces of jewelry. Like the carved branches on the silver surface, making a great combination with the fiery edges that serve as a frame for these lovely hearts. 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, is the tiny silver beads and polished tiny silver hearts that hang from the fiery frames.

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