The Firefly, the enigmatic summertime favorite, captured in antiqued Sterling Silver, enhanced with luminous bright Swiss Blue Topaz representing the "Blue Ghost" Fireflies (Phausis reticulata) found in the woods of the South Eastern United States. Jewels that are a bit nostalgic, quite contemporary and always classy.
T and Brie's signature high dome cabochons symbolizing the mysterious and beloved phosphorescent glow of these little members of the beetle family.
The so-called "Blue Ghosts" are a species of Firefly common in the southern Appalachians, and can be seen in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Chattahoochee National Forest, as well as North Carolina's DuPont State Forest and Pisgah National Forest.
Topaz is another birthstone for the month of November. Its name may come from the Sanskrit word "tapas", meaning heat or fire. Swiss Blue Topaz is a bright sky blue version of the always flawless, hardy gem. The Blue variety of topaz has been said to provide artistic inspiration.
