Cereus Flower Brooch Stuns Like Its Namesake In Nature

We like jewelry that goes beyond the usual pendants, necklaces, bracelets, watches, ear rings and the works. Brooches for instance have been regarded as a symbol of glam but without having to face the fate of being overdone. Take the one designed by Ashli Jewelers which has taken the fancy of many including us! Called Cereus, this lovely representation of its namesake in nature has been done in 18 karat gold.

As you know, Cereus is an actual flower that is popularly known as the queen of the night because of its unique ability to bloom at night. Found mostly in the desert, this stunning flower blooms in its ful glory for a night or two in a bold and extravagant dsiplay.

The same can be said for the brooch version of the Cereus flower that is studded all over with 486 VVS1 round diamonds totaling. And that’s not all about the gam quotient here as 24 yellow sapphires work their own magic along with the 18 karat white and yellow gold that they are set in. Expect the price tag to definitely burn a hole in your purse!
