Miniature jarritos on a golden crocheted cord. Rosita shapes, glazes, and strings each necklace at her own table — family work, not a factory.

Jalisco

Roots and inspiration from Jalisco — jarritos from home, worn far from it.

One of a kind

When a collar sells, that exact piece is gone.

One of a kind

On the table now

These are the pieces Rosita has ready. Each collar is one of a kind — when it leaves the house, that exact one is gone.

Rosita sits with clay the size of a fingertip, a crocheted cord, and glaze that never falls the same way twice. She works in Chicago; the jarritos come from the memory of Jalisco. About thirty collars exist today, made the way her family has always made things.
