Cufflinks, \'Poinsettia\'

Stylized poinsettias grace these sterling cufflinks by Amalia and Carlos. Native to Mexico, the flower was discovered in Taxco and the valleys surrounding Cuernavaca, the artisans\' hometowns. Known to the Aztecs as cuetlaxochitl, it was prized for the curative properties of the milk that drips from its leaves, stems and flowers when cut; the pigment from the \"petals\" was used to dye cotton fibers. .925 rating silver
