Intricate beadwork and faceted gemstones bring to life the stunning colors of Southwestern sunsets. Rose quartz, citrine, amethyst, and other colorful gemstones dazzle against the understated elegance of freshwater pearls. The soft shades of sunset stand out boldly against the unique, twist tube sterling silver of the 36-inch necklace.

Building on the twist silver theme, several rings in the collection feature bold, faceted gemstones encircled by a twist rope sterling silver design, a popular element in Southwestern jewelry, symbolizing the eternal bonds of friendship, strength, and loyalty.

Sunset Inspirations jewelry also features channel inlay, a process by which genuine gemstones are cut into precise sizes and shapes, in order to fit together in a silver setting like a perfect puzzle. The result is a vibrant geometric pattern of color. Silver is incorporated into the collection’s design, separating and distinguishing the individual gemstones.

Several of the rings, earrings, and pendants showcase a pave' (pronounced pa-vay) texture. Derived from the word, "pavement", pave' is a process where tiny, pin-size holes are swiftly jack hammered onto a piece of tarnish-resistant sterling silver. Striking the silver gives the piece a luminescent look that resembles sparkling diamonds.

The rainbow of colors in Sunset Inspirations complement a wide variety of wardrobe pieces. Create a fun, yet feminine and elegant, look to your everyday denim or formal wear. The “little black dress” gets an updated, unique look when paired with strands of pearls and pastel gemstones. A key element in the collection, pearls come in long or chunky strands and are perfect for layering. When combined with faceted gemstones and freeform, organic-shaped beads, pearls create a look of casual elegance, perfect for a night at the Santa Fe Opera. Twist rope details in the gemstone rings and necklaces add a distinctive Southwestern flavor. A popular trend, the illusion necklace also highlights this subtle rope detail with stations of colorful gemstones.
