SOLD!!! Red Cedar 3 strand necklace
SOLD!!! Red Cedar 3 strand necklace
This is Red Cedar, a 3 strand necklace that is my "portrait" of a chunk of Red Cedar wood that was saved from the fireplace after wood had been split! The colors, woodsy smell and texture of the wood are amazing. I hope this necklace does justice to that Red Cedar!
I used Colonial Jasper, Red Jasper, Sunstone, Delice Glass Spacer beads and a Silver filled toggle clasp. The shortest strand is 16 1/2 inches long and the longest is 19 1/2 inches long.
I used a mix of faceted ad smooth finished beads to give this necklace an occasional sparkle!
According to my research, charmsoflight.com says, "Jasper is known as the “supreme nurturer”. It sustains and supports through times of stress, and brings tranquility and wholeness. Jasper provides protection and absorbs negative energy. It balances yin and yang. Jasper clears electromagnetic and environmental pollution, including radiation. It encourages honesty with one's self. Provides courage to assertively tackle problems. Aids quick-thinking and promotes organizational abilities. Jasper stimulates the imagination and transforms ideas into action. Prolongs sexual pleasure. It supports during prolonged illness and re-energizes the body."
"Sunstone is linked to luck and good fortune. It clears and energizes all the chakras. Sunstone instills good nature, heightens intuition and allows the real self to shine through happily. It dissipates fearfulness, alleviates stress and increases vitality. Encourages independence and originality. Especially helpful to those who have difficulty saying “No” to others. Sunstone facilitates self-empowerment and independence. It acts as an antidepressant. Increases self-worth and confidence. Encourages optimism and enthusiasm. Stimulates self-healing powers.
Sunstone treats chronic sore throats, reduces stomach tension and relieves ulcers. It treats cartilage and spinal problems."
Red Cedar itself has been used for centuries for everything from storage closets, siding, healing and aromatic therapies! Like the actual Red Cedar, it seems that this necklace is also very versatile and powerful!
The brick reds and shades or orange and peach in this necklace make it a warm looking and lustrous necklace! A perfect addition to wear with so many colors!
