Spring time means the fruit trees are flowering and on my daily dog walks, I've been enjoying the sights and smells of these lovely Cherry, Peach and Pear trees in bloom! I was inspired to create a necklace with the pinks and wine colors of the Cherry and Peach trees. This is "Flowering Fruit Trees".

I used Faceted Garnet and Rhodonite rounds with a few faceted Rose Quartz and Rose Quartz discs. I finished Flowering Fruit Trees with Delica glass spacer beads and a Sterling Silver toggle clasp.

The short strand is 16 34 inches long and the longest is 19 14 inches long.

These 3 stones are all powerful healing gemstones that help heal the heart on all levels, and bring in love to the person wearing them!

According to charmsoflight.com, "Garnet revitalises, purifies and balances energy, bringing serenity or passion as appropriate. Inspires love and devotion.
