Charissa meticulously hand sculpted each flower and bird design, and Mary Frances, with her expertise in jewelry making, guided the process of casting the pieces into metal. It’s a breathtaking collection that captures the delicate beauty of nature in heirloom-quality accessories.

Gold necklaces, earrings, and a bracelet.The collection features earrings, necklaces, charms, and a bracelet, each cast in solid brass with a thick layer of 14k yellow gold plating for lasting beauty and durability. The charms are sold individually, allowing you to mix, match, and stack them on one of their carefully selected chains or one of your own.
