# Tequila-Flavored Jewelry Rebecca Beltran Designs Skull Bracelets Inspired by Punk and Mexico By Ana Lopez | Published 2012-01-16 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rebecca-beltran References: [facebook](http://www.facebook.com/Virgensitanomelleves) ‘Virgensita no me lleves,’ which in Spanish translates [Little Virgin Mary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-words-project) don’t take me with you, is the intriguing and fun name Spanish jewelry designer Rebecca Beltran gave to her Mexican-inspired jewelry collection. These bracelets are simply adorable and a must-have because of their excellent quality and charming style. Handcrafted and made of silver, crystals and semi-precious stones like coral, turquoise and amazonite, these accessories fuse punk with Mexican folklore. Beltran is not only passionate about these two influences, but she also makes sure that each “virgensita,” as she calls her bracelets, is one of a kind, as she tries to avoid repetition or mass production. The best part about this [tequila-flavored line](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dobel-atelier-animales-endmicos) is the smiley skulls. They come in a variety of colors, and they’re the reason why Beltran decided to start her company last year, while spending some time in her native Ibiza, Spain. Every bracelet is accompanied by a little message or cute saying related to [Mexico](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onitsuka-tiger-1) and the ironies of life, making this fascinating jewelry collection by Rebecca Beltran a celebration of Frida Kahlo and tequila, as its slogan reads. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Mexican-inspired Jewelry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create unique, handcrafted jewelry that fuses cultural influences to appeal to a diverse market. - **Punk and Folklore Fusion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore unconventional combinations of styles to create distinctive and edgy jewelry designs. - **Personalized Message Jewelry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate personalized messages or quotes in jewelry to create a deeper emotional connection with customers. ### Where This Applies - **Jewelry Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize innovative materials and techniques to create unique and novel jewelry pieces. - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with jewelry designers to incorporate unique accessories into fashion collections, creating new trends. - **Artisanal Crafts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary designs to create high-quality, handcrafted products with a modern twist. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artisinal Tequila Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artisinal-tequila-bottles.md) - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md) - [Tequila Diamond Brooches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tequila-diamond.md) - [Collectible Tequila Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paisaboys.md) - [Fashion Jewelry Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sylvia-toledano.md) - [Nature-Inspired Jewelry Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marbella-club-x-daniela-villegas.md) - [Consciously Cool Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment.md) - [Artist-Designed Tequila Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/essential-artist-series.md) - [Sculptural Tequila Bottle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/msica-tequila.md)
