Overview
A beautiful trio of Southwestern-inspired sterling silver jewelry, featuring a signature Carolyn Pollack multi-stone cuff with turquoise, spiny oyster, and lapis, paired with a two-tone sterling link bracelet and a pair of delicate sterling silver feather dangle earrings.
Story
In 1975, Bill and Carolyn Pollack founded Relios in New Mexico, determined to keep the spirit of American-made Southwestern jewelry alive. This trio captures the vibrant colors of the desert sky and earth, designed to be worn as personal talismans of adventure.
Maker / Origin
Carolyn Pollack is a celebrated American jewelry designer whose work is synonymous with Southwestern style. Manufactured by Relios Jewelry in Albuquerque, New Mexico, her pieces are known for their exceptional quality, use of genuine gemstones, and commitment to being 100% made in the USA.
Condition & Value
All three pieces appear to be in excellent vintage condition with a light, desirable patina on the sterling silver. The stones in the cuff are intact and secure in their bezels, and the earring wires are straight. Gentle polishing could brighten the silver, though many collectors prefer the aged look.
