Red Creek is a 3 strand necklace featuring 3 types of Jasper. Poppy Jasper 4mm rounds, Red Creek Jasper rondelles and a round focal bead and Red Jasper matte finish rounds and polished barrels. I used Delica Glass spacer beads and finished Red Creek with a Silver filled toggle clasp. The shortest strand is 16 1/2 inches and the longest is 19 1/2 inches, not including the focal center bead.
