[end] This collection pays homage to the American Southwest through the lens of two powerful and iconic females: collector and activist, Millicent Rogers and artist Georgia O’Keeffe. From gem hunting in Arizona to the land of enchantment known as White Sands in New Mexico, exquisite color pairings reflect the region’s landscape, culture and artistic heritage through an exploration of interconnectivity, inclusivity and love. Rare sleeping beauty turquoise, smoky tourmaline, entrancing tanzanite and fiery spessartite are the essence of Desert Rising, along with custom-crafted gold beads, featured on the one-of-a-kind “Desert Rising Collier”. Talismans with zodiac elements represent guidance, protection and unbreakable bonds, complemented by the connective “Full Circle” series reflecting the uniquely Southwestern palette of the desert, sunrise and hypnotizing sunset.
