The macabrely decorated skeletons and skulls of Mexico’s Dia de los Muertos aren’t to scare, but to remind us to celebrate the present. Families meet at ancestral gravesites for a party creating offerings of honor, clean their graves and picnic to tell stories about the departed. It is a very human ability to transform our life into emotions. Tell the stories about your jewelry. In this way, regular jewelry transforms into “family jewels,” and a jewelry box becomes a treasure chest of the most meaningful kind.
