Virgins Saints and Angels

Inspired by the Goddess, with elements of Gothic tradition and Religious iconography, Virgins Saints & Angels, make unique jewelry that’s simply magical to behold. Each compelling piece possesses an element of the eternal that encourages enlightenment, expression, and creativity. As beautiful as they are mystical, Virgins Saints & Angels designs are revered for their powerful symbolism and eternal appeal. All Virgins Saints and Angels pieces are handmade in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico by a team of 32 traditional craftsmen. The collective, also referred to as VSA for short, was started in 2000 by Cheryl Finnegan (Finn), after a 14 year marketing career with Levi Strauss & CO, in an effort to bring together an artistic community where individuals would be free to explore their imagination and spirituality. San Miguel is a bustling melting pot of creative endeavors, traditional culture and folk lore. The perfect birthplace for pieces of handmade divinity.

When asked to describe Virgins Saints and Angels, Finn likes to say that it’s “Celtic meets Gothic, meets Mexico.” Intricate passionate designs have the ability to transport you to another time and place, one filled with magic, fantasy and lore. This is what makes Virgins Saints and Angels, so compelling and unique. There’s nobody quite like them anywhere out there. VSA Jewelry

Finn, a gringa far away from home, had her doubts about the success of Virgins Saints and Angels, but as legend has it, shortly after releasing her first line of belts with the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe on them, Cheryl was attending a festival in the Virgin’s honor. There she was struck by fireworks….. The Mexicans took this as a sign of her blessing, and so Virgins Saints and Angels was born. In a way, the experience was a sort of ordaining, as Virgins Saints & Angels have enjoyed nothing but success from then on. And besides, as Finn says herself, “I never see obstacles, only challenges to take on.”
