Always elegant, La Catrina flirts with a wink and a toothy grin. The word catrina is widely used in Mexico to mean "elegant and polished." Lithographer Jose Guadalupe Posadas created the skeletal Catrina, who was later immortalized in the murals of Diego Rivera. She wears the large feathered headdress known as a penacho, a symbol of noble birth, power, military might by the Aztecs. Rosa Padilla etches the image by hand on a rectangle of sterling silver to center a macramé bracelet of blue and aqua cords.

"Edgy without being too obvious!"
I love the look of the necklace. People cannot see the skull without taking a second glance. My grandmother was from Mexico, and this is a memento to her life.
