Viola Blooms is a sweet 3 strand necklace of Citrine facets, Cultured maroon Pearls, Delica Glass spacer beads, Garnets in 2 sizes and cuts, Yellow Calcite rounds and a silver tone flower slide and lock clasp. The short strand is 17.5" and the long one is 21.5".

My inspiration for this necklace is my flowers that I thought were tiny Pansies, but they're actually Violas! Thank you to my neighbor who corrected me!! The yellow/gold and Merlot colors are clearly team colors for the Washington Commanders, the Seattle Storm, Texas A&M, Minnesota Golden Gophers and Arizona State Sun Devils! If I missed listing your team, I apologize!

Citrine is considered the merchant's stone because it's said to bring in prosperity. As per labarynthwalking.academy, "Citrine is known as a stone of light - of empowerment, clarity, and abundance. While many call it the “Merchant’s Stone”, its gifts are much broader than mere material wealth:

Joy & Emotional Healing - Citrine uplifts the spirit, dissolving melancholy, self-doubt, and emotional stagnation.

Manifestation & Prosperity - It aligns you with clear intention and openness to flow, rather than force.

Clarity & Mental Light - It can dissipate mental fog and bring inner illumination to your thoughts and choices.

Empowerment & Confidence - Working deeply with the solar plexus, it fortifies your personal power, enabling you to claim your worth.

Vitality & Creativity - Citrine’s warm vibration stirs imagination, dynamism, and forward momentum.

In sacred energy systems, Citrine resonates most strongly with the solar plexus chakra, yet its radiance often extends into the sacral and heart centers - particularly as you deepen your practice."
