I found this lovely Tree of Life pendant with it's array of Red Agate, Red Aventurine and Quartz Crystals and decided to create a 3 strand necklace and a matching one strand bracelet to go with the pendant!

I used Multi colored Moonstone in 2 shapes and sizes, Quartz Crystal irregular rounds, Sunstone faceted rondelles in 2 sizes and silver filled toggle clasps. The clasps work together so that the bracelet can become a necklace extender too! The bracelet is 7 inches long. The necklace's short strand is 16 1/2 inches long and the longest strand is 21 1/2 inches long without the addition of the bracelet! Versatile!
