A flowering tree blossoms in early spring, but a sudden frost encases it in ice. As the glittering icicles melt in the sun, the sparkling crystals drop from the bright petals, transforming the tree into a rare and spectacular union of color, water, and light.

The elegant Melt Necklace features seven sterling silver teardrop forms which drape artfully down like falling water. Five dazzling gems and a scattering of 18K gold granules add color, texture, and balance to this show-stopping piece, which captures light and sparkles from every angle.

 The Ripple Collection by Kristen Baird draws inspiration from the rhythms, textures, and ever-changing nature of flowing water. Look upon soft snowdrops blanketing mountain peaks. Imagine the gentle rush of a riverbed as it winds its way home. Each piece in the collection combines organic shapes with modern design. Ideal for everything from casual wear to formal occasions, these staples will quickly become your forever go-to's.

This necklace combines sterling silver teardrops of various sizes with our signature inlaid-ripple textured sterling silver, Swiss Blue Topaz gemstones and 18K yellow gold granule detailing. The center teardrop measures approximately 40mm x 20mm. Depending on your style preference, the 2.1 mm sterling silver rolo chain is available in your choice of a fixed chain that is adjustable between 16"-18”, 18"-20” or 20-22”. The chain fastens with a lobster clasp in the back, for ease of wear. Additional chain lengths and gemstone options may be available upon request.  

At Kristen Baird® Jewelry, we use partially to fully recycled sterling silver. The pearls used are carefully selected in line with our commitment to social responsibility. Each piece is precisely handcrafted in our Savannah, GA studio. As proof of authenticity, each piece is tagged with the Kristen Baird® logo, along with the .925 quality mark, prior to delivery.

Due to the natural characteristics of gemstones along with the handcrafted nature of our one-of-a-kind designs, each piece may contain slight variances from the photos shown. These variances allow uniqueness in every creation, but never take away from the quality of work or the complexity of design.
