Golden Rose Necklace

Handmade 18K Gold Plated Rose Silver Necklac - The Rose of Tepeyac
• Material: .925 Sterling Silver and 18K Gold

Inspired by the legend of Our Lady of Guadalupe. According to Mexican Catholic tradition, in 1531, the Virgin Mary appeared to an indigenous man named Juan Diego on the hill of Tepeyac, near Mexico City, and instructed him to ask the bishop to build a church in her honor on that site. When Juan Diego reported this to the bishop, he was asked for a sign. The Virgin Mary then directed Juan Diego to gather Castilian Roses, which were not native to Mexico and bloomed out of season, from the hill and present them to the bishop. When Juan Diego opened his cloak to show the roses to the bishop, an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe was miraculously imprinted on the fabric. This event led to the adoption of the rose in Mexico as a symbol of the Virgin Mary and her miracles, integrating the flower into Mexican spiritual and cultural traditions.
