Garnet Choker

Description

Introducing my newest line: Super Short Chokers!

I paired my love of semiprecious gemstones and natural elements with my love of the choker necklace, and sat down to make several different combinations of this super short choker.

Did you notice the unique toggle clasp? Let me tell you, I have searched all over and haven’t seen anything like this one!

This necklace is available in two sizes. Please specify which one you want when ordering. The shorter one is pictured and measures 14 ¾” from end to end and will fit as 14 ¼”. It is made with a one inch section of natural garnet heishe beads with two brass beads on each side.

The longer one measures 17” from end to end and will fit as 16 ½”. It is made with a nearly 1 ¾” (1 5/8”) section of natural garnet heishe beads and also has brass beads.

On both necklaces the clasp is made with three garnets. The tiny jet black beads that make up the rest of the necklace are called charlottes, which are special Czech glass seed beads that have been cut on one side. This gives the bead a sparkling faceted look that is much more elegant than a simple round bead.

Garnet is the birthstone for January. It is also associated with the first, or root, chakra that is located at the base of the spine. This energy center is the place of balance, patience, and strength. Garnets aid with feeling connected to the physical world and stability.

Aside from being a short necklace for a teenager or adult, this would also be perfect for a little girl! Shorter necklaces are perfect when combined with longer pieces to complete this season’s layered look!

**This is a very short necklace. If you are unsure of the length, please cut a string equal to the listed length and hold it up to check for fit. Please contact me if you need a different length and I might be able to make you a similar piece.

Thanks for looking!
