Influenced by the many art forms that touch our lives in the Southwest the deeply carved sterling silver jewelry designs of this elegant pink rhodochrosite pendant enhancer were inspired by a beautiful blanket weaving. The pink rhodochrosite beads are perfect against silvers cool gleam and display just beautifully on a pink rhochochrosite bead necklace. Enhancer measures 3 1/2 inches L (from top of bail) x 1/2 inch W, on adjustable 16-20 inch necklace. Made in New Mexico, USA.
As each day's sunset at the Sandia Mountains holds a unique beauty, so does each piece of genuine pink rhodochrosite with its depth of color and marbling characteristics. The Desert Blush collection pairs beautifully with chocolate brown, gray, neutral, denim, and other pastel wardrobe pieces, but best worn with blushing cheeks.
In the heart of the Southwest near Albuquerque, New Mexico, the sun sets over the Sandia Mountains washing them in an amazing collage of pink hues. Sandia means watermelon in Spanish, perhaps prompting the name of the range for its blushing, romantic tones. Genuine pink rhodochrosite captures these endless shades of pink in the Desert Blush designer jewelry collection.
The Desert Blush collection features rhodochrosite stones and beads framed by sterling silver stampwork, a process of decorating silver with punches. The punch, or stamp, is held in one hand and hit repeatedly with a hammer held in the other until the design is impressed in the silver. Many of the Desert Blush sterling pieces showcase the blanket pattern, inspired by a Southwestern blanket weaving.
Intricate, hand strung beaded jewelry pieces offer more of a delicate, romantic look with pink rhodochrosite beads.
Made in America, the Desert Blush designer jewelry collection celebrates the warm melon and rose glow of the Sandia Mountains at sunset, a genuine Southwest beauty.
Rhodochrosite, the state mineral of Colorado, radiates and attracts love as its pinkish, raspberry red color implies. Found in the U.S. and Russia, rhodochrosite is believed to alleviate phobias and fears. Its energy sweeps away emotional clutter, helping to resolve personal conflict and developing inner freedom.
