A beautiful bouquet of flowers is the universal symbol of love, life, and appreciation. The Desert Blossom Collection embodies strength and beauty. For even in the harsh desert climate the wildflower thrives, bursting into a colorful celebration of life from the cracks and crevices of the earth. The celebration takes place here where various sterling wildflower charms dangle and blossom between green aventurine, orange carnelian, rainbow moonstone, blue chalcedony, purple amethyst and yellow citrine gemstones. Toggle bracelet adjusts from 8 to 9 inches L and will add a burst of color to your wrist. Made in New Mexico, USA.
Along with capturing the array of colors of Southwestern high desert wildflowers, designer Carolyn Pollack replicates the shape and structure of the wildflowers in stunning sterling silver. Sculptural flower charms are intricately handcrafted from sterling silver in the likeness of desert wildflowers. These charms adorn several pieces in the Desert Blossom collection.
Artful beadwork plays a prominent role in this collection. Bracelets, pendants, and earrings feature organic-shaped gemstone beads, creating one-of-a kind pieces showcasing virtually every color of the rainbow. These delicate, beaded creations add a touch of feminine romance to the collection.
Care Instructions - Like all fine jewelry, CP SIGNATURE™ jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a ziploc bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never immerse in chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions, or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause damage to the gemstones. Never wear jewelry in a chlorinated pool or spa.
Spring in the Southwestern high desert brings a return of butterflies, hummingbirds, and of course, colorful wildflowers. "Despite its reputation as a dry, dusty landscape, the Southwest high desert actually produces an amazing array of colorful wildflowers after a rainy winter," says jewelry designer, Carolyn Pollack. Bursting to life in a wide assortment of vibrant shades, the Desert Blossom sterling silver jewelry collection captures the feminine romance and beauty of the Southwest native sunflower, purple geranium, blue flax, silver leaf night shade, desert verbena, Indian paintbrush, purple astor, red morning glory, Mexican gold poppy, and primrose with stunning gemstones.
The feminine romance of the Desert Blossom jewelry collection pairs beautifully with layered, sheer fabrics and ruffles, echoing a popular fashion trend this season. Colorful gemstones and wildflower-sculpted charms add feminine romantic accessories to soft, flowing blouses and skirts. Detailed, vibrant pendants are the heart of any collection, and the Desert Blossom's bold, yet feminine, offerings are no exception. Wear them with the chunky necklace or with the more delicate strands of gemstones for a layered look. Versatility is key – the necklaces can be worn long or doubled to create a shorter, chunkier look. Elongated rings showcase the beautiful colors of this collection and make hands look long and feminine. The ring is a bouquet of desert blossoms showcasing the beauty of Southwestern wildflowers in a bold cluster of color. The unique and vivid color combinations distinguish Desert Blossom jewelry from others and become the centerpiece of any ensemble.
