Whether you celebrate it with a family fiesta, garnished with salsa and margaritas, or you feel empowered by the more cultural meaning of the special day, have no doubt Cinco de Mayo is embraced in many homes across the Americas. Personally, this time of year, I am reminded of the months I spent in Mexico as a child – and the bold, vibrant colors that surrounded me along with the rich, elegant turquoise that was born from the ground we walked on.
So, with that in mind, I bring you Happy Mango Bead’s Cinco de Mayo edition of inspirational jewelry!
This stunning ethnic Mexican statement necklace by Justine Justine is made out of Brazilian beads that come from a fruit called Acai (known for their energy boosting effect). It can be found on Etsy here.
These upcycled earrings by Tiny Mayor’s Cap Art are made from Pacifico beer bottle caps. Decorative beads surround the cap, and a dangling bead flower is at the bottom. Bottom of the cap is decoupaged with a Pacifico label and small red, yellow, and green beads cover the stick. Earrings will spin so both sides will show. Find them on Etsy here.
