Rosa Centifolia $24


Rosa Centifolia - (lit. hundred leaved/petaled rose; syn. R. gallica var. centifolia (L.) Regel), the provence rose or cabbage rose or Rose de Mai is a hybrid rose developed by Dutch rose breeders in the period between the 1600s and the 1800s, possibly earlier. It is a complex hybrid.
I personally like the above bracelet a lot. Made up of a bronze chain, a heart-shaped and arrow toggle, with a translucent bead of the "fire" colour.. and of course, the centre piece - a reddish, pinkish rose set in a bronze pendant. A piece that is simple, vintage-looking, striking and graceful all rolled into one.
The picture speaks for itself.....
