Overlooking the Luberon Valley from the Château in Lacoste, a quilt of lavender flowers blankets the lush countryside, bursting with pinks and purples. Breathing in the sweet aroma, Kristen’s mind drifted home to Savannah, where the azaleas blossom every spring. Every bloom is a miniature treasure.
The Petite Lavender Gem necklace celebrates both the journeys we take and the places we call home. Each lavender form is hand-fabricated using traditional methods, so no two are ever the same. Make this journey your own by selecting your favorite gemstone.
The Bonjour Belle Collection is a whimsical recollection of Kristen’s magical summer spent as an artist in residence in Lacoste, France. Gather vibrant flowers from the provincial market. Duck behind ancient arched doorways for an elusive embrace. Brush fingertips against castle walls laced with fragile blooms, and gaze at the lush valley below. Here in her Savannah studio, Kristen brings her memories to life, melding southern imagination with a French fairytale.
The flower of our Petit Lavande Gem Necklace measures approximately 8mm in diameter and features a center 3mm gem, in your choice of available gemstone colors. Depending on your style preference, the 1.5 mm fixed, sterling silver rolo chain is available in your choice of 16”, 18” or 20” lengths. The chain fastens with a lobster clasp in the back, for ease of wear. Additional chain lengths and gemstone options may be available upon request.
At Kristen Baird® Jewelry, we use partially to fully recycled sterling silver. The 18K gold used is certified 100% recycled and the gemstones we use are carefully selected in line with our commitment to social responsibility. Each piece is precisely handcrafted in our Savannah, GA studio, using a metalsmithing process called reticulation. As proof of authenticity, each piece is stamped with the .925 quality mark and whenever possible, is signed/marked with the Kristen Baird® maker’s mark, prior to delivery.
Due to the natural characteristics of handcrafted designs, each piece may contain slight variances from the photos shown. These variances allow uniqueness in every creation, but never take away from the quality of work or the complexity of design.
