This dramatic & bold necklace is a modern interpretation of the classic Yalalag cross from Oaxaca in Mexico. The Yalalag cross originated in Salamanca, Spain and was brought to Mexico by the friars during the colonial period. Over time, the indigenous silversmiths adapted the design and incorporated their own personal styling elements. The black suede cord may be tied for a short choker style necklace or worn long so that the cross falls lower on the chest. This necklace has been made with attention to fine detail and quality.
