There is a time each year when the veil between the living and the departed grows thin — when marigold petals line the pathways home, when candles flicker in the dark, and when love refuses to be silenced by something as small as death.
That time is Día de los Muertos.
And at Ruby Acorn, we believe jewelry can be a part of that sacred conversation.
Our Dead Live in Our Hearts
Día de los Muertos is not a day of mourning. It is a day of celebration, color, and connection — a joyful, mystical acknowledgment that those we love never truly leave us. They live in our laughter, in our memories, in the way we reach for beauty even in the hardest moments.
We are a mystical folk. We believe that every time a hummingbird hovers nearby, we are being visited by someone we love — someone who has simply moved to the other side of the veil, watching over us with wings and wonder. 🌸
This collection was born from that belief. Each piece is a wearable act of remembrance. A celebration of life. A love letter to those who came before us.
I grew up with Día de los Muertos as part of my cultural heritage. My Mexican roots are woven into everything I create at Ruby Acorn — the colors I choose, the stories I tell, the symbols I honor. When I design sugar skull pieces, I'm not following a trend. I'm carrying forward a tradition that has been in my family for generations. Each sugar skull piece I make is handcrafted with intention — a small act of remembrance, a celebration of those we love, a reminder that beauty and joy can coexist with grief.
To welcome you into this collection, every Día de los Muertos piece is 15% off through October 7th — automatically at checkout, no code needed. A small gift from our heart to your home! 💀🌸

💀 Lovely Frida — Sugar Skull Necklace
"For the Love of Frida"
Frida Kahlo understood something the rest of us spend our whole lives learning — that beauty and pain are not opposites, they are companions.

A necklace for the bold, the brave, and the beautifully alive. 🌺🔥
💀 A Pirate's Life — Día de los Muertos Necklace
"For the Love of the Rare and the Irreplaceable"
Some treasures are so rare, so precious, that you hold them gently and wear them with reverence. The A Pirate's Life necklace features an extraordinary ceramic sugar skull pendant by the legendary Joan Miller of Joan Miller Porcelain — an artist who has since retired, leaving behind a body of work that is nearly impossible to find. This piece is a true collector's treasure featuring ancient Roman glass. If it calls to you, do not wait — there will never be another one quite like it. ⚓💀
