This radiant red heart, measuring half an inch in both width and height, is nearly translucent. It is surrounded by sterling silver textures that accentuate the rosarita. The rich red hue symbolizes the strength, support, and endurance associated with rosarita's history. The "stone" is actually glass slag, a by-product of gold refining from the 1960s-70s. The more intense the red, the higher the gold content. Due to modern advancements in refining, this kind of slag is no longer produced. The three-quarter-inch sterling silver pendant hangs from an 18-inch sterling silver rolo chain.
