EDUARDO GARZA FRIDA KAHLO JEWELRY COLLECTION

On a visit to his native Mexico, specifically to the blue house, artist Eduardo Garza was inspired to create a jewelry collection based on Frida Kahlo. " when you look at the paintings, most of her jewelry has great symbolic meaning, and I wanted to capture that in the jewelry collection" he says. Garza created the collection using symbolic materials from ancient amber beads to Aztec jade coins. I adore anything that comes from my native Mexico and this collection lives up to that. I especially love:

Antique Aztec Eagle Head, hand-carved in antique jade, with accents of amber, bone, antique ivory, antique red coral, and amethyst, $3,800; eduardogarza.com

“Jade for pre-Columbian cultures represented life, and for Frida the color green represented light and goodness.”
