Desert Rose Trading is a sterling silver jewelry manufacturer and designer. They offer contemporary Southwest Designs made out of "green" sterling silver. Green sterling silver is 100% recycled silver, which means that no mining went into the manufacturing of their silver (the silver was reclaimed from various sources and then made into silver sheet, that was then created into their beautiful jewelry). Desert Rose Trading designs jewelry using "rough" stone material. "Rough", means that, they purchase their ornamental gemstones direct from the miners who mined the material. Their design team sits down and discusses what the best design use is for the material. They let the rough rock tell them what to design it into. Many of their designs are shaped around the pattern that is present in the stone. They feel that they are lucky to have the job that they have - they spend their days creating spectacular works of art made out of "nature's beauty".
