In Cajonos, Oaxaca, Zapotec women handcraft silk from start to finish—raising silkworms, spinning thread, weaving on waist looms, and naturally dyeing it with local pigments like cochineal and indigo. Ishi sources these exquisite threads and embroiders them onto leather jewelry with silver, brass, and stone beads.
The charming Mariquita necklace features a delicately detailed ladybug motif—an age-old symbol of good fortune and protection—beautifully set on amn oxidized delicate sterling chain. Its handcrafted design brings a touch of whimsy and meaning to any outfit, making it a thoughtful gift or a lucky everyday keepsake.
Dimensions: .75 x 1.25 in pendant; 17 in chain
