Smithsonian Institution Exclusive
Description
The cherry trees around the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C., bloom for just a few fleeting weeks—but you can carry their beauty with you year-round. This exclusive cherry blossom brooch captures the delicate elegance of sakura in sculptural, hand-painted flowers and buds, accented with deep red crystals and gold-tone details.
Inspired by the centuries-old Japanese tradition of honoring cherry blossoms through art and adornment, this cherry blossom pin is a wearable tribute to nature's most poetic bloom.
This jewelry item comes packaged in a white box (pictured).
