Palisade Mermaid Bracelet
Inspired by the Palisade Mermaid who rests beneath the peach trees along the Colorado River, this bracelet honors the abundance, beauty, and harmony of Palisade—the heart of Colorado’s peach country. The peach charm pays tribute to the region’s famed fruit and fertile land. Each gemstone was thoughtfully chosen to reflect the spirit of the valley:
-
Moss Agate channels abundance and resilience, echoing the strength of the land and those who tend it.
-
Cherry Quartz amplifies energy and intention, perfect for those seeking to manifest harmony and connection.
-
Tiger’s Eye offers clarity and protection, grounding you in your purpose and fostering compassion for self and others.
Together, these elements celebrate the rich agricultural heritage, natural beauty, and deep-rooted guardianship of the Grand Valley—embodied by the Palisade Mermaid herself.
The Grand Valley Mermaids is a collaborative series by local artists Lily Cain and Lynnea Tai, featuring vibrant paintings and hand-crafted malas that celebrate five distinct regions of Colorado’s Grand Valley. Rooted in symbolism and reverence for the land, the work honors our shared stewardship of nature—from rivers and canyons to orchards and plateaus. Inspired by the local “dirt curse” legend, the artists reinterpret the tale with a feminine energy, focusing on connection rather than conflict. The mermaids embody guardianship, harmony, and respect, reflecting the region’s deep Native history, agricultural heritage, and natural beauty.
