Cherry Blossoms is a 2 strand necklace with Glass Pink Sea Opal round beads and Rose Quartz round and oval beads. I used Delica Glass spacer beads and a silver filled brass slide and lock flower clasp also. Inspired by the photos of Cherry Blossoms (not blooming here yet!), I wanted to capture the sparkly pink and almost lavender hues.

The Sea Opal short strand is 17 1/2 inches long and the Rose Quartz longer strand is 19 1/4 inches long.

Rose Quartz is said to heal the heart on all levels. Emotionally, it's very calming and helps people relax. It soothes those in grief and also helps to draw in love. Considered one of the stones of love, Rose Quartz is an excellent choice for anyone wanting to bring more love into their life.

According to charmsoflight.com, "Rose Quartz is the stone of universal love. It restores trust and harmony in relationships, encouraging unconditional love. Rose Quartz purifies and opens the heart at all levels to promote love, self-love, friendship, deep inner healing and feelings of peace. Calming and reassuring, it helps to comfort in times of grief. Rose Quartz dispels negativity and protects against environmental pollution, replacing it with loving vibes. It encourages self forgiveness and acceptance invoking self trust and self worth.

Rose Quartz strengthens and balances the physical heart and circulatory system, and releases impurities from body fluids. It hastens recovery, reduces high blood pressure, aids chest and lung problems, heals the kidneys and adrenals, and alleviates vertigo. A good energetic support for those with leukemia. Rose Quartz has the power to increase fertility and to protect both mother and unborn fetus from miscarriage."

This necklace is a perfect spring necklace, ideal for any of your spring holidays!
