Barbie's 3 Strand is a nod to the pinks, creams and blues so prevalent in Barbie's closet! I used Aquamarine flat faceted rounds and larger ovals, Grey Quartz rounds, Rhodochrosite faceted rounds and Sea Sediment Jasper. There are Delica Glass spacer beads and it's finished with a silver filled brass slide and lock fancy clasp.

You don't have to be a fan or Barbie to love this necklace! According to charmsoflight.com, "Aquamarine is a stone of courage. Its calming energies reduce stress and quiet the mind.

According to crystalvaults.com, "

The allure of Rhodochrosite is undeniable, both for its raspberry-pink to rose-red color and for the pulsating electrical energy of love it emits. While all pink stones promote unconditional love, Robert Simmons in The Book of Stones claims Rhodochrosite emanates one of the most tender and loving energies of any stone, soothing the heart, comforting the soul, and vibrating to the frequencies of inner peace. It is a marvelous talisman of joy and healing, embracing one’s rightful powers and rising to one’s full potential.

Known as the Stone of the Compassionate Heart, Rhodochrosite symbolizes selfless love, moving one beyond mere empathy but stirring one to action on others’ behalf. Rhodochrosite, however, directs that love first toward the self for the specific purpose of emotional healing. By empowering one to earnestly examine old wounds, suppressed feelings, and traumas of childhood or past lives, it enables one to view old situations with new information. It allows one to acknowledge and release pain and destructive behavior patterns one may have adopted to cope. Its vibration of self-love, forgiveness, and compassion for the child within assists in reclaiming the self one was born to be.

The frequency of Rhodochrosite is surrounded by heavenly energies imbued with the golden sphere of Light. It emits not only the pink/red color rays of influence but a harmonious blend of pink and light orange. It not only heals the Heart Chakra but is described by Katrina Raphaell in Crystal Enlightenment as “the God-sent deliverer whose purpose and mission is to clear the solar plexus and integrate the energies of the physical and spiritual realms.”"

Finally, medium.com says, "Sea Sediment Jasper is a gemstone of stability. … The blue & green varieties of Sea Sediment Jasper are wonderful stones for helping one find inner peace, clarity, love and compassion, helping with the alignment of the physical and “Light” bodies and is an excellent stone for emotional healing."

You can look wonderful, feel great and think positive thoughts, just like Barbie, when you wear Barbie's 3 Strand necklace!
