This is Solidarity 11, a 2 strand necklace designed to honor the colors of the Ukrainian flag. ALL of the proceeds from the sale of this necklace will be donated to a fundraiser I've set up for World Central Kitchen Ukraine. They have volunteers cooking and feeding the fleeing refugee families along the Ukrainian borders and although I wish I could be there helping feed them, I can make jewelry in their colors and donate to the cause!

The is the 11th in the series, and I used an Aqua Aura Quartz Crystal pendant, Faceted Blue Apatite rondelles and round Yellow Calcite beads. It's finished with Delica Glass spacer beads and a silver filled 2 strand toggle clasp. The short strand is 15 1/2 inches long and the longest is 16 3/4 inches long without the 1 1/2 inch long pendant. This necklace is priced at $100 because I'm referring to numerology information that I learned that says that you add the numbers together to get to a single digit. The prices on all of these Solidarity necklaces come to a 1 which represents a "New Beginning", the wish that I have for all of the Ukrainian people. Stand with Ukraine!
