Franciscan Desert Rose
China Pendant

Franciscan Desert Rose has been on American tables since 1941 — hand-painted pink roses, olive green stems, that unmistakable cream background. Jacqueline Kennedy chose it for the White House in 1964.

Tina cuts each pendant by hand. Every cut reveals a different section of the design. No two are ever identical.

Each pendant is cut by hand — no two are alike. Every piece is unique because the porcelain breaks differently every time.

The story behind the pendant

Beauty out of
Brokenness

Tina Goolsby has been making handmade china jewelry in Ormond Beach, Florida for over 15 years. She finds vintage china at estate sales, antique markets, and family donations — patterns that meant something to someone.

Each plate is cut by hand with a diamond saw, the edges bevelled smooth, and the piece set in a sterling silver or gold bezel. The result is a pendant that carries the history of the original china — something that can be worn every day, passed down, and treasured.

My mother cried when she opened it. She used to set her Desert Rose out every Thanksgiving. This pendant is now her most treasured piece of jewelry.

I bought this for myself after losing my grandmother. She had this exact china pattern. Wearing it every day feels like keeping her close.
