Frida Kahlo & The Day of the Dead: A Celebration in Silver
There’s something beautifully poetic about this time of year — when Halloween fades into the colourful celebration of Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. It’s a moment to pause, remember, and honour life in all its forms. And no one embodies that vibrant spirit quite like Frida Kahlo.
At Licensed To Charm, our officially licensed Frida Kahlo jewellery collection captures her iconic creativity and the cultural richness of Mexico’s most meaningful celebration. From the delicate sterling silver necklace featuring a Frida-inspired sugar skull to intricately detailed earrings and bracelets, each piece tells a story of beauty, resilience, and individuality.
The Meaning Behind Day of the Dead
Celebrated on November 1st and 2nd, Día de los Muertos is far from a sombre occasion. Rooted in Mexican tradition, it’s a joyful festival of remembrance — honouring loved ones who have passed through music, dance, and vibrant displays of art.
Altars known as ofrendas are decorated with marigolds, candles, and photographs, while families come together to celebrate life and love that never truly fades. The iconic sugar skulls (calaveras) symbolise both remembrance and joy — a perfect reflection of Frida’s own approach to life and art.
Frida Kahlo: Bold, Beautiful, Unapologetic
Frida Kahlo’s legacy continues to inspire millions around the world. Her art fearlessly explored identity, pain, and passion — transforming her personal experiences into powerful works that celebrate strength and self-expression.
In many ways, Frida and Día de los Muertos are intertwined. Both embrace beauty in imperfection, courage in vulnerability, and the belief that life and art are eternally connected.
Handmade Jewellery Inspired by Frida’s Spirit
Our Frida Kahlo jewellery collection celebrates that same artistry and emotion. Every piece is handmade in the UK using sterling silver, crafted with care to reflect the details and symbolism Frida is known for — from her floral crown to the sugar skull motif representing her love of Mexican heritage.
