San Diego Inspired Necklace




Our our recent trip to San Diego I fell in love with this particular tree. Upon returning home I googled "Trees in California" until I found it. It is an erythrina coralloides, otherwise known as the Naked Coral Tree. That's because the leaves don't grow until all the flowering is finished.


It's a spectacular tree and I found myself gasping every time we drove or walked by one.








After arriving home I dug out the few precious red nuggets still in my possession and purely by chance happened upon the porcelain rose round. This necklace was the result.

At 36" long, it's a bold necklace! Look for it in my Etsy store in the next day or so!
