Celestial Journey: Astrological Sugar Skull with Stars and Moons Cloisonne Enamel Pendant

Description

While a sugar skull is a clear symbol of death, it’s also a symbol of life. People join together to eat, drink, tell stories, and celebrate the circle of life while remembering their departed. The Day of the Dead is a vibrant and meaningful cultural tradition that celebrates life, honors the dead, and provides a way for families and communities to come together and support one another. Each piece is unique just like each person is unique. I love the idea of celebrating them.

This piece contains astrological elements including the moon and stars in the shape of a sugar skull. Notice the 24k gold highlights in the eyes, the 24k gold lines on the cheeks, the nuanced purples on the cheeks, and the stars and moons on the headdress. Wearing a Day of the Dead skull design throughout the year can be a way to show personal identity and style while expressing appreciation for a meaningful cultural tradition,

I enameled a “sketch” on the back. So as I created the setting, I made sure to keep it visible!

Materials: Vitreous enamel, fine silver, Sterling Silver, 24k gold
