The Phlox plant, name of which is derived from the Greek word phlox meaning flame in reference to the intense flower colors of some varieties, is a diverse group of plants which are found mostly in North America (one in Siberia). They live in diverse habitats from alpine tundra to open woodlands and prairies. Some flower in spring, others in summer and fall, and the, sometimes fragrant, flowers may be pale blue, violet, pink, bright red, or white.

These flowers were created entirely by hand, using the ancient sculpting techniques of chasing and repousse. These technique use small, specialized tools and thousands of hammer blows to push and form the metal, either from the front of the piece to add texture and detail (chasing) or from behind to create depth (repousse). This work is done free hand, beginning with a flat sheet of metal, and no molds, stamps or machines are used in the process, making each piece truly one of a kind.

This flowers are hollow, and on the back of each one there is a cut out silhouette of a flower or leaves, offering a glimpse of the hammer marks from the repousse on the back of the piece. The flowers sit within a handmade chain that is finished with a sterling silver lobster clasp.

This sterling silver bracelet fits a 7 inch wrist, but since the clasp could be connected to any of the rings it could go substantially shorter.
