I found an incredible sunset photo on Instagram taken by a photographer from Albuquerque, New Mexico. It's colors were remarkable and after thinking about it for 2 days I made "New Mexico Sky", a 3 strand necklace. i used round Carnelian beads, energy charged Garnet chips, Hessonite Garnet faceted pebbles, Peach Moonstone facets and round Strawberry Quartz beads. It's finished with silver tone Delica Glass Spacer beads and a Silver filled round toggle clasp.

The short strand is 17.5 inches long and the longest one is 20.5 inches long. Garnet is the birthstone for January.
