Red Beaded Collar Necklace – San Pablito, Puebla

Handcrafted by Moisés in San Pablito, Puebla, this stunning collar necklace is made from chaquira beads and faceted beads, woven in the Otomí style — the heritage and language his family proudly preserves.

The intricate fan-shaped panels are worked in fine seed beads, with sparkling red beads scattered throughout to catch the light, creating a piece that is as bold as it is delicate. The process takes three careful steps and between five to eight hours to complete, requiring patience, precision, and dedication.

Each necklace is a tribute to Mexican craftsmanship, passed down through generations
