The arrival of cherry blossoms marks the beginning of spring and a time of rebirth. These gentle yet striking flowers symbolize growth and positive change. This exquisite cluster of seventeen hand-made cherry blossoms boasts two garnet stones, two opal gems, and three burgundy gems, as well as hand-painted and hand-dyed pink, ivory, brown and cranberry stamens. Spun with a combination of delicate metallic blush crepe de chine, ballerina pink silk habotai, pale pink silk cross-dyed dupioni, silk organza, and cranberry silk chiffon, each blossom is handcrafted to a branch wrapped in chestnut brown silk ribbon with two 14 carat gold plated pins for sturdy fastening. The cherry blossom is the birth flower for the month of March and is the national flower of Japan.
