Colors of the Canyon Designer Collection Driving through the Southwest desert landscape brings bursts of colorful surprises around every corner. Brightly hued, autumnal vistas featuring orange-red rock formations and rich, green foliage celebrate the natural beauty of the Southwest and are the inspiration for the Colors of the Canyon sterling silver jewelry collection. The collection replicates the rich yellow, purple, green, and red autumnal shades that occur in this national treasure using Mother Nature’s own tools: gemstones, sterling silver, and copper.
