This necklace hangs at 30" with a 2" pendant consisting of a stamped pewter bar, a teardrop shaped Carnelian gemstone, and a smaller teardrop shaped peridot stone hanging from a wire wrapped ring.

Peridot is the traditional August birthstone and Carnelian is sometimes used as an alternate birthstone for the month. The bar is stamped on the front with the word JOY and the scripture reference James 1:2 on the back.

Please note that Carnelian has a lot of color variation within the stone. You can see this in the third picture.

James 1:2 says, "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds," (ESV)

This necklace design is in memory of my son, James Paul. You can read his story HERE.
