Cherry Blossom Necklace

Visiting Tokyo during Sakura Matsuri, the cherry blossom festival, I was exhilarated to walk under the flowering trees. I was reminded of cherry-red rubies, my mother’s favorite gem. Unlike the ephemeral beauty of the clouds of petals each spring, these abstract blooms in 22k gold and 50cts. of rubies will endure forever.
