Huichol ring

Huichol, Mexican tribal geometric ring in silver

The Huichols, or Wixárika as they prefer to call themselves, are an indigenous people of Mexico whose ancestral traditions remain deeply rooted in their sacred lands in the Sierra Madre, between the states of Jalisco, Nayarit, Zacatecas, and Durango. Their vibrant and colorful culture is marked by an intense spiritual connection with nature, the mountains, the sun, corn, and their guardian animals.

Their artistic expressions—paintings, textiles, weavings, beadwork, and jewelry—reflect a symbolic universe of exceptional richness. Each Huichol creation is an offering, a prayer embodied. The delicacy of their embroidery, adorned with geometric and tribal motifs, expresses their ethnic, familial, and spiritual identity, transmitting the myths and stories of their ancestors.

Huichol art fascinates with its meticulous details. The vibrantly colored beads are carefully arranged to form motifs representing fauna, flora, the sun, corn, and even shamanic visions derived from peyote, a sacred plant that allows communication with the divine.

At the heart of this mystical universe is the symbol of the ojo de dios—the "eye of God." Delicately engraved here on the ring, this diamond-shaped motif occupies a central place in Huichol cosmology. It is believed to protect the wearer, while granting them the ability to see and hear the invisible mysteries of the world. In the Huichol language, it is called Sikulu or Tsikuri, meaning "the power to see and hear the unknown." This sacred eye represents the god Kauyumari, the blue deer, messenger of the gods and a guide capable of understanding the secrets of the universe.

The diamond shape, omnipresent in Huichol art, is here combined with a cross, merging two powerful symbols: the balance of the elements and divine protection. According to tradition, each diamond made in the making of an ojo de dios represents a year of life and blessings offered to the recipient. This symbol is often made by a father for his child, renewed each year with a new central diamond, like a continuous prayer of protection and love.
