Amber Trail is a 3 strand gemstone necklace of Amber chips and Green/Blue Turquoise in 3 shapes. I also used Delica Glass spacer beads and finished Amber Trail with a Sterling Silver toggle clasp. The shortest strand is 17 1/4 inches and the longest one is 20 1/4 inches.

According to firemountaingems.com, "Amber is thought to help absorb negative energy and to release bright, soothing energy, helping to calm nerves and enliven disposition like a mental sunny day. The different colors of amber are often used on the chakras with corresponding colors to facilitate opening and cleansing. Yellow amber has been used traditionally by natural healers to improve memory, increase mental flexibility and create balanced decision-making.

Amber has also been used, historically, as a talisman for courage and self-confidence, and was thought to bring good luck to warriors in battle. In some cultures, Amber symbolizes the renewal of marriage vows and is used to assure promises. It is worn by elders as a symbol of their endurance and wisdom."

"Turquoise is one of the official birthstones for the month of December, and is heralded as the stone of communication. It encourages enthusiasm, thus inspiring new projects and bringing to light undiscovered artistic abilities. Turquoise also provides understanding and encourages attention to detail while attracting prosperity and success.

The sprawling lines of coppery matrix provide a large amount of energy to its wearer. This may be one reason why the stone has long been prized as a powerful talisman with healing properties. It is believed that Turquoise can help balance the blue throat chakra, enhancing the ability to communicate while increasing resistance to viruses, helping to relieve sore throats and allergies." Some believe that the Wisdom of the Ancient Ones comes to those who wear Turquoise!

It seems like I could have named this necklace "Elder's Wisdom"! This is a unique one of a kind necklace that can be worn year round.
