Hibiscus Necklace / Hibiscus Pendant

Ladies will love Guy Beard's exclusive hibiscus pendant necklaces created for his sought-after Salt Life Collection. Caribbean dwellers use hibiscus to make herbal teas and jams. Natives of southern India soak its petals and leaves to make natural shampoos. It's used in Mexico to make a tangy, bright-colored drink. Philippine children crush its petals and leaves, dipping hollow papaya stalks into the sticky juices for blowing bubbles. Tahitian women tuck a single red hibiscus flower behind one ear to let the men know they're available for marriage. And it's used in Hindu worship and in Chinese and Indian medicine.

This beautiful and useful flower exists in a full prism of colors and has a year-round presence in Beard's native coastal Florida. So, it's a fitting inspiration for his line of beach and ocean-inspired jewelry. Beard's hibiscus necklaces come in a variety of styles, including:

• A large, hand-cast sterling silver hibiscus pendant on a leather necklace
• A small, sterling silver hibiscus pendant on an 18-inch silver box chain
• A round stainless steel pendant, 1.125 inches in diameter, with a laser etched hibiscus pendant on an adjustable leather necklace
• And a hibiscus dog tag with the flower laser etched in black anodized aluminum on a ball chain.

Beard's selection of hibiscus necklaces offer both casual and dressy looks that can be paired with any attire from beachwear to formalwear. A matching pair of hand-cast sterling silver earrings also is available for a coordinated look. Beard offers these same necklace and pendant styles featuring a sea turtle, a beloved local resident along Florida's eastern coast, home to Beard's design studio and storefront.

If you're looking for a unique and beautiful gift for your lady, consider a Guy Beard designed hibiscus necklace, available online, at one of more than 900 retailers nationwide and at our Jacksonville, FL location in the historic San Marco neighborhood.
