I love a good boutique. I keep running lists of the must try shops in just about every city I might visit, that’s how much I love them. So when I heard about a new one that recently opened in Chicago, it went on my list of places to check…
Cholla wood in resin with copper, gold, and purple wire wrap Comes with 20” sterling silver plated chain shown in photos. Pendant measures 3-1/8” x 1-3/16” Cholla (pronounced “choya”) wood is essentially the skeleton of a cholla cactus.
Created from natural Cholla - a cactus that grows in the wild of the Sonoran Desert - is this magnificent piece of jewelry. You sure don't want to touch Cholla when it is alive, but when it dies, the wood is filled with natural nooks and crannies. No more thorns, just beautiful natural wood. My husband, Eric, has gotten creative. He used natural turquoise and filled some of those crannies. The result is a wonderful treasure - one of a kind - never to be exactly repeated again. As, even if he decides to make more, each piece of Cholla is unique. Each chunk of turquoise is different. This piece of jewelry carries some of the desert with it - you can faintly hear traces of Native Americans who walked where we live. Available at Buster and boo.
Lacy remains of Cholla Cactus. A common sight in the Sonoran Desert.

Did you know that you can find skeletons in the desert? Not from animals, but look for a cactus skeleton that is left behind after the plant dies.
