Earrings, 'Poised Catrina' Clothing Accessories Handmade Jewelry Earrings Mexican & Taxco ![]()
The coquettish image of the
Catrina inspires Maria Belen Nilson's Day of the
Dead jewelry collection. Catrina is the original creation of Jos
Guadalupe Posadas, renowned author, journalist and political cartoonist (1852-1913). He
is credited for popularizing the Day of the Dead celebrations,
especially through the creation of skeletal cartoons that capture the
Mexican attitude towards death. The most renowned of these is
the Catrina, (meaning "dapper"), and she is always
elegantly dressed featuring a wide brimmed hat with colorful flowers.
