Hijas de Maria NecklaceA cast sterling silver Hijas de Maria medal, suspended from oxidized sterling silver curb chain, layered with two small bronze talismans at the center. The piece is based on an original 1934 Spanish medal honoring the Hijas de Mara congregation reimagined in solid sterling silver with a worn, time softened finish. The contrast of sterling and bronze gives the necklace the feeling of something collected slowly over decades rather than newly made.
