Our
Mission Collection is inspired by the stunning beauty and
the vibrant colors found in the historic California
Missions. Each necklace is named for an individual mission
in the California chain.
Close
your eyes and see the rows of glowing votive candles
illuminating red glass; the blue and green murals painted on
stucco walls and handwrought crosses from another age.
We
incorporate blue turquoise, red coral, bright green gaspeite
and deep green turquoise in our Mission Collection jewelry.
We use
only genuine turquoise and other gemstones, as well as
sterling silver beads and findings. All pieces are strung on
a silver plated cable which is as strong as it is beautiful.
Each necklace is handmade in the USA and produced in very
limited quantities or as one of a kinds.
A
portion of the proceeds from the sale of our Mission
Collection jewelry is donated to the National Trust of
Historic Preservation expressly earmarked for the Mission
San Miguel Preservation Fund and The California Missions
Foundation. The Mission San Miguel Arcangel is on the list
of the National Trust's 11 most endangered places in the
United States. This is due to extensive damage suffered
during the 2003 San Simeon earthquake.
