Symbolizing the eternal bonds of friendship, strength, and loyalty, the twist rope design is an essential element for any Southwestern wardrobe. This jewelry style has become a signature element in high-end designer jewelry and designer Carolyn Pollack brings this fashion to you in a most unique way. Carolyn adds an element of fun to traditional twist rope design by using subtle strands of sterling silver to create the illusion of movement, as if the gemstones are floating around your neckline or wrist. In addition to rope detail, the pendants and earrings feature sculpted, cast scalloped detail in sterling silver adding another layer of interest to the jewelry.

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.
