This vibrant red rosarita pear exceeds an inch in height! It is encased in a sterling silver gallery wire and a textured frame. The striking red hue symbolizes the strength, support, and sustainability inherent to the origins of rosarita. The "stone" is, in fact, glass slag, a by-product of the gold smelting process from the 1960s-70s. The redder the slag, the greater the amount of gold it retains. Due to the refinement of smelting processes, this kind of slag is no longer produced.
