Gold Day of the Dead Sugar Skull Charm

This gold Sugar Skull necklace is an homage to the Day of the Dead holiday. Day of the Dead, or Dia de Muertos in Spanish, is a holiday originating in Mexico and celebrated throughout the world. The Day of the Dead is a celebration in memory of those people who have passed on. Family and friends gather to remember and pray for loved ones and to celebrate life. Day of the Dead is celebrated on Oct. 31, Nov. 1 and Nov.2 in connection with the Christian triad: All Hallows' Eve, All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day.

This sugar skull charm is our gold version of the skulls made from sugar and decorated with designs made to honor the dead and are left on altars to the deceased. They are often decorated with Marigolds, the traditional flower used in the Day of the Dead celebrations.

ORDERING MORE THAN ONE ITEM:
If you are ordering more than one necklace or bracelet, please use the 'Additional Comments' box to let us know which chain or bracelet you would like it to go on. For example, you could name your first item "Necklace 1" and for each chain, charm, bead, etc. that goes on "Necklace 1", simply type "Necklace 1" in each item's 'Additional Comments' box.

ADDING ITEMS IN A PARTICULAR ORDER:
If you want the charms to show up in a particular order, you can also enter that in 'Additonal Comments'. However, we will always do the best layout for you, so this is unnecessary. If do want them in a specific order, please picture the item as though you were looking at it in front of you (not wearing it), and as though you were adding the charms from left to right. Count the number of charms, let's say you have 7 and they are going on a necklace. From left to right they would be " Left 1", "Left 2", "Left 3", "Middle", "Right 1", "Right 2", "Right 3".

PUTTING TWO ITEMS ON THE SAME RING:
If you are designing a simple necklace with a large charm and a single bead for example, you might want both items to hang from the same jumpring. This way the bead will always be in the front / top / middle of the charm. Just use the 'Additional Comments' box for the smaller item and say "Please hang this from the same ring as RCH-303", (or whatever charm you are ordering). We don't recommend any more than 2 items be hung from the same jumpring.
