I found this beautiful solid 3D heart milagro representing the Sacred Heart of Jesus. To this bracelet I added other milagros, like leg, eyes, man praying, breasts (can represent for breast cancer), torso and others. I also a very unique and rare figural medal of St. Michael in colonial armor.
I used beautiful handpainted peruvian beads and turquoise beads as well.

I love creating Milagros necklaces and bracelets. They are a reminder of faith and knowing that a miracle will occur.

This necklace I used a stunning 4 inch copper patina heart Milagro, may represent the Sacred Heart of Jesus of human heart aliment, I also used other smaller milagros, Catholic Medals including a vintage St. George medal, vintage copper chain and turquoise.

I created this unique bracelet using a beautiful copper with patina finish heart Milagro, which represents Sacred Heart of Jesus, made in Peru. I added smaller milagros from breasts, representing healing for breast cancer, I added a leg, children, cat, sheep, bull, corn & eyes. I added chalk turquoise and Peruvian colorful beads to give it a folklore look and feel to it all in a vintage copper chain.

These devotional Milagros are still being fervently used in Latin America and the tradition was brought to the US. I have seen on a local Mission that these milagros are still attached to a Saint. I have also seen thank you notes, for miracle granted, attached to these milagros.
My inspiration on this bracelet was the stunning copper heart with patina finish, which can represent The Sacred Heart of Jesus, or human heart troubles, handcrafted in Peru and all the other milagro charms. How faith can grant you a miracle.

I visit an old Mission, San Xavier Mission, which is approx. 20 minutes south of Tucson and the tradition and devotion is still vivid, where I still see these milagro charms attached to the sacred statues of the Saints on the Mission, which I also see many letters thanking God for the miracles obtained.
I created this bracelet with that inspiration that a milagro charm can be a reminder that God will grant a miracle in your life with faith and devotion. I added a large solid 3D heart milagro, handcrafted in Mexico.

I was inspired to create a Milagros charm bracelet similar to the Milagros charm necklace I had created. I loved the outcome, the combination of vintage and new, the medals with the Milagros and the turquoise with the copper.

I created this beautiful necklace with the inspiration of the ever loving Sacred Heart of Jesus. The stunning heart milagro on the center is a reminder of that, His ever loving Heart and the milagros attached to be a reminder of miracles to come or were granted. I added a large Our Lady of Gudalupe medal and Assumtion of Virgin Mary and turquoise. I also added some vintage charms to give it more of an ethnic feel and look to it.
