San Miguel flaming heart

Mexican tin hearts — also known as milagritos or ex-votos — are a traditional craft dating back to the colonial era, still passed down today from parents to children. It is a meticulous process carried out entirely by hand, from cutting the tin to embossing and painting.

These hearts symbolize love and gratitude, making them a perfect gift for a loved one or a way to give thanks to someone special. They also serve as wonderful decorative accents, adding a boho touch to your home.

This piece features a golden base with a heart lacquered in deep red, topped with the classic raised flame — a symbol of the Sacred Heart — crafted in metal with silver and gold finishes.
