Celebrating Frida Kahlo: A Month-Long Tribute to Her Art, Nature, and Resilience

July is a special month for us as we celebrate the birthday of the iconic Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo. Born on July 6th, 1907, Frida Kahlo's legacy continues to inspire people around the world with her vibrant art, her deep connection to nature, and her incredible resilience in the face of personal adversity. Our jewellery collection is a heartfelt tribute to her enduring spirit, and each piece is crafted to reflect her unique style and passion.

Frida's Love of Nature

Frida Kahlo's deep love for nature is evident in her art, which often features flowers, plants, and animals. Her beloved garden at Casa Azul, her home in Mexico City, was a sanctuary filled with vibrant marigolds and lush greenery. Our Marigold Bead Necklace is a nod to this aspect of her life, featuring an intricately engraved marigold design that captures the essence of her garden.

Her Artistic Legacy

Frida's art is a powerful exploration of identity, postcolonialism, gender, class, and race in Mexican society. Her self-portraits are particularly well-known, reflecting her pain and her passion. Inspired by these masterpieces, our jewellery pieces, such as the Frida Kahlo Disc Necklace and the Creole Hoop Earrings, incorporate elements of her folk art style, making each piece a miniature work of art.

Strength Through Pain

Frida Kahlo's life was marked by physical suffering due to a severe bus accident in her youth and lifelong health issues. Despite her pain, she channeled her experiences into her art, creating works that resonate with strength and resilience. Each piece in our collection is a testament to her courage and determination, handcrafted to be as unique and resilient as Frida herself.

Handcrafted and Unique

Every piece in our Frida Kahlo collection is handcrafted in the UK from recycled sterling silver, with some pieces plated in 18ct gold vermeil. This commitment to craftsmanship ensures that each item is one-of-a-kind, mirroring Frida's unique approach to art and life. Whether it's the detailed butterfly designs or the bold marigold motifs, every piece tells a story of individuality and artistic expression.
