For Sagrada Feminidad, Jewelry Is an Act of Resistance Lensed by Alina Gross

Sagrada Feminidad [IG] is a Mexican jewelry brand that reclaims and celebrates sacred femininity through bold, handcrafted designs.

Founded over 5 years ago by Cynthia Cortes, each piece — or amulet — is a tribute to the female body, created to honor its power, sensuality, and mystery. Using atypical words to describe jewelry DNA, Cortes’ creations also honor “autonomy, joy and endurance”.

In these images for Sagrada Feminidad, photographer Alina Gross features the tattooed, sun-baked skin of an older woman, a gesture that acknowledges the life experiences and likely-held values of she who embraces and expresses a deep sensuality at an advanced age.

This cultural explosion in artisan experimentation and free-thinking — coupled with an expanding wealthy clientele supporting their efforts — greeted 16-year-old Louis Vuitton when he arrived in Paris in 1837.
