Milagros are small metal charms that are used in Latin America to represent prayers, good luck, and hope. The word milagro is Spanish for "miracle" or "surprise". Our Milagros, hand cast in fine pewter, are detailed miniatures, based on familiar icons or cast from nature, with meanings that can be metaphorical or literal. Piece measurements range from about 1/2 to 1 inch. Because we craft each milagro by hand, all dimensions are approximate. Subtle variations are natural.
