SOLD1!! My few little Zinnia plants really went crazy this summer! The bright pink ones are my inspiration for this 3 strand necklace aptly named, Zinnias! I used Cultured Currant Pearls, Garnet tiny round beads, oval flat beads and a large oval pendant and lovely round Rhodonite beads. It's completed with Delica Glass spacer beads and a Silver filled toggle clasp. The shortest strand is 16 1/2 inches long and the longest is 20 inches long without the drop. The drop is 3/4 inch wide and 1 1/4 inches long.

Garnet is January's birthstone and Pearls are June's birthstone. The deep currant color of both gemstones is very beneficial for our circulation and it helps heal the heart. Rhodonite is called a stone of love, and is thought to help attract love into our lives.

Finally, according to therightflowers.com, "Zinnia blossoms have been used by native southwestern tribes in rituals and for medicinal purposes for years. This explains why the Navajo tribe viewed zinnia flowers as a sacred life medicine while the Pueblo people fed the blossoms to children, believing that the plant made kids eloquent and intelligent." I didn't know that when I planted my Zinnias in my New Mexico garden, but I feel like they'll be continuing to thrive here!
