Day of the dead theme earrings, the classic catrinas and catrin skulls that are worldwide known as a symbol of this celebration of death. As you may know is a holiday traditionally celebrated on November 1 and 2, though other days, such as October 31 or November 6, may be included depending on the locality in Latin America.
The holiday include honoring the deceased using calaveras and aztec marigold flowers known as cempazĂșchitl, building home altars called ofrendas with the favorite foods and beverages of the departed, and visiting graves with these items as gifts for the deceased. The celebration is not solely focused on the dead, as it is also common to give gifts to friends such as candy sugar skulls, to share traditional pan de muerto with family and friends, and to write light-hearted and often irreverent verses in the form of mock epitaphs dedicated to living friends and acquaintances, a literary form known as calaveras literarias.
Our earrings are made in Mexico and Melbourne by Artisan Clau and founder Lorena.
All our products are one of a kind.
