Bleeding Heart Milagro Necklaces $65.00

Traditionally, milagros (Spanish for "miracles") are metal talismans offered to a favorite saint to appeal for relief from pain or bad luck. There are eye-shaped milagros to heal cataracts, for example, and cow likenesses to protect a herd of cattle from illness. Human heart motifs are especially ubiquitous, because who hasn't suffered from love-sickness from time to time? If your ticker could use some help, try one of these. Each enamel-dipped aluminum charm measures approximately 3/4" tall and hangs from an 18" gold-filled chain. Choose yours - numbered from left to right - using the drop-down menu below.
