Sedona is a very special place! I've always loved being there. This necklace is called Sedona because it reminds me of the feeling, colors and energy of that lovely magical town! I used Orange Agate 8mm rounds, Rose Jasper rondelles, Turquoise chips, Delica Glass spacer beads and a Gold Filled Slide and Lock Flower clasp.

The shortest strand is 17 1/2 inches long and the longest one is 20 inches long. It's southwestern in style, but it could be worn with any outfit! Turquoise is December's birthstone and is said to bring the "Wisdom of the Ancient Ones" to those who wear it.

As per crystalvaults.com,"An elemental Earth stone, Jasper’s frequency is slow and constant, aligned with the electromagnetic energies of the planet. It enables one to be more present in the physical body and conscious of Nature and one’s surroundings. It encourages one to celebrate moments of isolation to absorb, reflect, and connect with these energies and enkindles an awareness of the spiritual connection we hold with all living things.

Known as the “Supreme Nurturer,” Jasper is a stone of grounding and stability, providing comfort and security, strength and healing.
