These bright and fun earrings reference the Mexican holiday, Dia De Los Muertos or Day of the Dead, in which people remember and honor loved ones by gathering at their graves and bringing gifts.  By gathering at these sites, relatives hope to summon their departed to have their prayers and wishes heard.  Some people believe it is good luck to posses Day of the Dead items.
