$203 USDCelosia Necklace – Pearls, Petal Pearls and Garnets with Tourmilated Quartz Pendant

Artisan Jewelry:Necklaces
My mother was an avid gardener when I was a child and there are still certain flowers from the garden that stick in my memory. Deep burgundy Celosia or commonly named Cockscomb, were a flower of endless fascination. Every fall, the beautiful rich red and velvety smooth flowers arrived on cue. Truthfully, I have no idea if they were annuals that bloomed every year or if the gardener planted them for her.
