Autumn Jasper is a 3 strand necklace inspired by the colors of the shortest strand of Autumn Jasper beads. The subtle colors in those beads informed my other gemstone choices. I also used amberchips and Red Aventurine Heishi beads and 8mm beads. There are burnt orange Delica Glass spacer beads, Rose Gold crimps and a Gold plated brass fancy slide and lock clasp to finish this necklace. The shortest strand is 17 1/2 inches long and the longest one is 20 inches long. It's warm colors really make this necklace feel like a sunny day!

As per firemountaingems.com, "Jasper, an opaque chalcedony, comes in a wide variety of colors, each with unique patterning. Autumn jasper is the variety of jasper known for its mottled warm brick red and avocado green appearance. The term "jasper" itself comes from the Greek work iaspi, which means "spotted stone." Jasper in general has been a gemstone used all over the world, worn by ancient Egyptian priests and carved as seals by the Minoans. While jasper is more widely available today, jasper was once considered a valuable stone.

Jasper is considered a powerful healing stone. Autumn jasper helps us move beyond just surviving to making us glad to be alive. Imagine pumpkins, red maple leaves and a long leisurely walk through the country that helps you kick back and relax. The heat of summer is over and the evenings are just cool enough to light a fire in the woodstove or fireplace. Life is good. Somehow you'd forgotten. That's what autumn jasper reminds us of whenever we wear it. Autumn jasper helps to ground and center the wearer, providing support while inspiring tranquility. Personal and environmental negative energy is dispelled, helping the individual reconnect with the Earth."

"Amberchip is thought to help absorb negative energy and to release bright, soothing energy, helping to calm nerves and enliven disposition like a mental sunny day. The different colors of amber are often used on the chakras with corresponding colors to facilitate opening and cleansing. Yellow amber has been used traditionally by natural healers to improve memory, increase mental flexibility and create balanced decision-making.

Amberchip has also been used, historically, as a talisman for courage and self-confidence, and was thought to bring good luck to warriors in battle. In some cultures, amber symbolizes the renewal of marriage vows and is used to assure promises. It is worn by elders as a symbol of their endurance and wisdom."

Red Aventurine aids those with autoimmune issues. It imbues us with the wisdom to exercise good judgment, forgive ourselves for past transgressions, and to see our highest path.
