Currants is a 3 strand Garnet necklace with some faceted Quartz Crystal beads in the 2 shorter strands for contrast! I used Delica glass spacer beads and a fancy Sterling Silver hook and eye clasp at the ends. The shortest strand is 17 1/2 inches long and the longest on is 20 inches long. Garnets are January's birthstone.
