I love Pansies and most blooming Summer flowers, so this 3 strand necklace, Pansies, is a thank you to those flowers! I used Garnets, Rainbow Moonstone, Rhodonite Garnet facets, Delica Glass Spacer beads and a Silver filled Brass flower shaped Slide and Lock clasp.

The shortest strand is 16 inches and the longest one is 19 3/4 inches long.

According to firemountaingems.com, "Moonstone is often called the visionary's stone. It helps us see things more clearly. Rainbow moonstone is thought to bring balance, harmony and hope while enhancing creativity, compassion, endurance and inner confidence. Rainbow moonstone is believed to help strengthen intuition and psychic perception, especially offering us visions of things that aren't immediately obvious. Because it helps us avoid tunnel vision, we are able to see other possibilities. It's like a flash of inspiration that comes when we are open and quiet. When we wear rainbow moonstone, life-changing inspirations can happen more and more often."

The combination of Garnets and Rainbow Moonstones is beautiful and so I've learned, also together they can be very beneficial to the wearer!
