In the 1880s, refined gatherings in towns like Santa Fe and Tucson revealed a softer side of the frontier — salons where pioneers, traders, and artists met under lamplight. Women wore jewels fashioned from traded amethysts and hand-forged gold, treasures brought west through old Spanish routes. Desert Parlor recalls that quiet sophistication — the shimmer of conversation, the glint of gold against evening silk. Each violet stone reflects the spirit of those desert soirées, where elegance met the raw beauty of the untamed land. A relic of frontier grace, preserved in golden form.
