Earrings of the day 1.28.13

Garnets are a great stone to wear for vitality and good luck!  These Chinese garnet stones were another Michael's find and a bit on the heavier side.

I attempted to just make the earrings with the nugget stones, but realized that I had space for hematite spacers.  YAY!  It adds something to them. 

Hematite is a great accent bead for any necklace, bracelet or pair of earrings.  

End result is above.  They are a dark red garnet and will work with a lot of different outfits.   I have heard that Garnet is a great stone to wear for protection from theft or great to wear when you travel.
