Crochet prickly pear necklace
"A cuddana chi ficurinnia ra Sicilia"
This handmade crochet necklace is the miniaturized version of prickly pear pads that characterize the typical Sicilian landscape and produce tasty and healthy fruits, named “ficurinnia” in Sicilian language.
Actually, prickly pears come from central America but they are now one of the most famous symbols of our island.
By wearing this crochet prickly pear necklace you’ll have an authentic piece of Sicily and you’ll feel all the good vibes of our beloved island.
This crochet necklace is wholly handmade in Sicily by the most skillful native artisans who respect the traditional shape of prickly pear pads.
The origins of the Opuntia Ficus Indica, the botanical name of the prickly pears, date back to the Spanish domination in Sicily during the fifteenth century, when they were imported from south and central America to Sicily.
Its pretty funny how a plant that is not even native can get naturalized and integrated so much into our Sicilian culture.
Crochet is one of the most time consuming trades ever and only a few Sicilian artisans continue practicing this ancient art to hook with love and passion.
They make true masterpieces following the traditional style used in Sicily.
This crochet necklace is wholly handmade with high quality Made in Italy yarn.
In a fully standardized industrial market, we offer you the possibility of having unique works of art.
This crochet prickly pear pad necklace belongs to our original collection of crochet jewelry.
It strives to preserve the soul of “Sicilianity” and our heritage.
Proudly display this precious Sicilian necklace for all your family and friends to see!
