ALWAYS IN BLOOM

You know your zodiac sign, but do you know your birth flower? Each of us has a symbolic bloom associated with the month we were born in. Keep yours close at hand with this bracelet from Shari Dixon. First, she applies lacquer paint inside a sterling silverâ€"plated pewter setting, then carefully lays in each real petal, stem, and leaf. She seals the arrangement with a coating of resin, then slides the pendant onto an elegant wire cuff. Find your birth flower, and what it represents, below. Wire made in India. Setting made in Rhode Island. Handmade in Tennessee.
