silver jewelry made from the dried fiber, or skeleton, of the prickly pear cactus

Using a process called lost wax casting, the result is solid sterling silver jewelry with a unique, organic pattern.

You’ll love wearing a piece of botanical jewelry that expresses your connection to the desert Southwest.

how is it made?

Using a process called lost wax casting, I mold the actual cactus skeleton. Then I pour silver into that mold, resulting in a sterling silver replica of that cactus skeleton pattern. Then, I incorporate that piece of silver to make the final piece of jewelry.
