Turquoise Doors is a thank you to a neighbor who has the coolest Turquoise doors and window trim on her home! The Red Jasper is a salute to the great American Southwest! I used 2 sizes of round Red Jasper beads, Red Jasper rectangles, Delica Glass spacer beads, Turquoise and a Silver filled toggle clasp on the 2 strand necklace. The short strand is 18 inches and the longer one is 19 1/2 inches. The bracelet is a stretch Energy Bracelet on elastic and can fit up to a 7 inch wrist. I'm selling this as a set, although if you can't use one or the other piece please reach out to me for a price change!

"Turquoise is one of the official birthstones for the month of December, and is heralded as the stone of communication. It encourages enthusiasm, thus inspiring new projects and bringing to light undiscovered artistic abilities. Turquoise also provides understanding and encourages attention to detail while attracting prosperity and success.

The sprawling lines of coppery matrix provide a large amount of energy to its wearer. This may be one reason why the stone has long been prized as a powerful talisman with healing properties.

This is a one of a kind set, as I've recycled the Turquoise beads from a vintage bracelet!
