A Mexican Beaded Necklace or Huichol Necklace is a vibrant, handcrafted piece of jewelry that reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Huichol people, an indigenous group from the mountainous regions of Nayarit and Jalisco, Mexico. These necklaces are meticulously made using tiny glass seed beads, often arranged in intricate patterns inspired by nature, spiritual symbols, and Huichol cosmology. Common motifs include flowers, animals, and sacred designs like peyote or deer, which hold significant meaning in Huichol beliefs. The craftsmanship of each necklace can take hours or even days, and they are often brightly colored, representing elements such as the sun, rain, and earth. Each piece is not only a beautiful accessory but also a connection to ancient traditions and spiritual practices.
The necklaces are lightweight, eye-catching, and versatile, suitable for both casual wear and special occasions, adding a bold, artisanal touch to any outfit.
Huichol jewelry is hand made by The Huichol or Wixáritari indigenous people of Mexico living in the Sierra Madre Occidental range.
Length 13 inches not including the flower. From tip to tip aprox 16 inches long.
